Despite links with Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres, ARSENAL have been told to forget about him, as Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has claimed he is NOT the man to fire the Gunners to the title.
Swede Gyokeres has been a major hit in Portugal since joining Sporting from Coventry in July 2023 and become one of the most dangerous strikers in World football, hitting 43 goals for the club last season, and he has already broken the 25 goal barrier this season
He was a player that ARSENAL were very heavily linked with signing during the summer window, but his massive asking price was a real problem for the Gunners, and in the end, the decision was not made to make a move for the striker.
But Gyokeres is one of a number of Sporting CP players who could leave the Portuguese club in the wake of Ruben Amorim’s departure, with Arsenal likely to chase the former Coventry striker once again.
However – Deeney has claimed he is NOT the man to fire the Gunners to the title – Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “You know when you say something the clip is going to come back in six months. I genuinely think he’s a good footballer, he works really hard, all of that.
“But I don’t think he’s a natural finisher. And again, everyone is going to pull up his goal record, I get that. But I don’t think he takes either of those two [Arsenal and Liverpool] to winning the Premier League. That’s just my opinion, and if he did, they’d have already bought him.”

Mikel Arteta knows adding a striker like Gyokeres to the side could bring that Premier League title back to the club – but the man is scoring goals in the Portuguese League and not the Premier League.
There is alot of hype around the player, but there is also alot of risk, so it will be interesting to see just who he joins.
