Arsenal fans, hold onto your hats! It seems the Gunners are finally on the verge of landing the prolific striker they've been craving. Rumours are swirling that a verbal agreement is in place with Viktor Gyokeres, potentially ending one of the summer's biggest transfer sagas. After a relatively quiet start to the window, with only Kepa Arrizabalaga arriving so far, Arsenal are reportedly working hard behind the scenes to bolster their squad.
Gyokeres Set to Lead the Line?
Gyokeres, who has been in sensational form for Sporting Lisbon, netting over 50 goals last season, is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League. Sources suggest he might even refuse to return to Sporting in order to force through a transfer. Mikel Arteta has made securing a new number nine his top priority, and after initial talks with Benjamin Sesko stalled, the focus shifted to the Swedish international.
Midfield Reinforcements on the Horizon
But the Gunners aren't stopping there! Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi is also heavily linked with a move to the Emirates. Sporting director Andrea Berta is tasked with adding more firepower and creativity to the team, aiming to transform Arsenal from Premier League runners-up into title winners.
Zubimendi Next In Line?
Fabrizio Romano suggests that Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard could be next to join, following the arrival of Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Gunners are also looking at Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera, highlighting their ambition to strengthen across the board.
- Gyokeres 'agreement' close, according to reports.
