Arsenal have bid ₤72 million to sign Swedish striker Viktor Gy ökeres from Sporting.
He is reported to be the top summer target for the Gunners as they look to address their long-standing issues in the centre-forward area. Manchester United are also interested in him – he played under Rúben Amórim when he was manager at the Portuguese club, but the player is thought to prefer a move to North London.
The former Coventry City player has scored 95 goals in 100 games since joining Sporting, and amongst his admirers is Andrea Berta, the new Sporting Director of Arsenal.
The Gunners are looking to get their main transfer business done early this summer, and are also closing in on deals for Martin Zubímendi from Real Sociedad and Jon Garcia from Espanyol.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
