Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Arsenal have joined the list of clubs interested in signing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres.

According to Romano, Arsenal’s interest in Gyokeres is true and the Gunners will not give up.

Arsenal are keen to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window.

Mikel Arteta’s side have been linked with the likes of Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

However, the Premier League North London club have also identified Gyokeres as an option.

Speaking about Arsenal’s interest in the player, Romano said in his ‘Here We Go’ podcast, (via Football Fancast):

“Yes I think there will be movement, this is the feeling, there is a release clause into the contract of Viktor Gyokeres and it is €100m. So this is the price, even when in January we had rumours about English clubs moving around Gyokeres, the message from Sporting was very clear, the release clause or nothing.

“They will not give up, so this is how they negotiate in Portugal, this is also likely for the Viktor Gyokeres deal. Arsenal scouts were in attendance to follow Viktor Gyokeres, it is true, but there are also other clubs in the race.”
