**_Arsenal are reportedly preparing a second, improved offer for Viktor Gyökeres._**
Reliable journalist **_Bruno Andrade of Mais Futebol_** initially reported earlier today that the Gunners had submitted their first formal bid for the 26-year-old Swedish striker.
However, that offer failed to convince Sporting, a stance that has since been confirmed by both Portuguese outlets Record and A Bola.
Now, there's a fresh update on the situation.
According to **_[Mais Futebol journalist Bruno Andrade](https://maisfutebol.iol.pt/sporting/mercado/sporting-arsenal-nao-desiste-e-prepara-segunda-investida-por-gyokeres#google_vignette)_**, Arsenal are ready to return with an improved proposal to sign Gyökeres this summer. Mikel Arteta's side are prepared to offer up to €70 million, including both fixed fees and performance-related bonuses.
It is understood that there is a good relationship between the two clubs, and Sporting are open to a new round of negotiations.
