Arsenal are preparing an offer for Sporting CP ace Viktor Gyökeres and are willing to provide a sizeable financial package to convince the striker to join, according to a report from Portugal.
There have long been discussions over Arsenal's need for a clinical centre forward capable of firing them to silverware next season and beyond, with profligacy at key moments having proved costly in their hunt for trophies this term.
Gyökeres has been regularly linked with the Gunners and has produced another astonishing goalscoring campaign for Sporting. He's managed 52 goals and 12 assists in all competitions for the Lisbon giants, somehow bettering his total of 57 goal contributions last season.
The 26-year-old, who has experience in English football with Brighton & Hove Albion, Swansea City and Coventry City, is expected to leave Portugal this summer and report that Arsenal are “the best placed club” to sign him.
