Sporting set firm price for Gyokeres
Viktor Gyokeres is attracting major interest before the summer transfer window after a standout season with Sporting CP.
Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are currently seen as the main contenders for the Swedish striker. Sporting remain in control of negotiations and do not plan to consider offers below his €100m release clause.
That figure is worth around £85.5m, making Gyokeres one of the biggest potential transfers of the summer.
Arsenal see him as a key attacking target
Mikel Arteta views Gyokeres as a striker who could complete Arsenal’s attack.
The London club want more physical presence and sharper finishing in the final third. Gyokeres fits that profile after his record-breaking campaign in Portugal.
Arsenal believe his goalscoring and strength could help them maintain a serious Premier League title push.
Atletico want a Morata replacement
Atletico Madrid are also pushing for the 25-year-old.
Diego Simeone sees Gyokeres as a strong candidate to replace Alvaro Morata. His pressing, aggression and work rate are viewed as a good match for Atletico’s style.
Both clubs are ready to support their managers, so the player’s own preference could become decisive in the race for his signature.
