Viktor Gyokeres sends passionate response to fans after Arsenal latest
Viktor Gyokeres was in high spirits on social media amid the constant interest surrounding a potential move to Arsenal.
Gyokeres has just wrapped up another extraordinary season in Portugal, scoring a staggering 53 goals across all competitions.
His 39 league goals were instrumental in firing Sporting to a second consecutive league title, cementing his status as one of Europe’s most in-form forwards.
His prolific form has caught the attention of several top clubs, with Arsenal in the race for his signature.
Football Insider revealed Arsenal have been given the green light to pursue a deal for Gyokeres, with both the player and club open to the move.
It’s believed that new sporting director Andrea Berta has recommended Gyokeres as a priority option to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s attack.
Despite the speculation, he appears fully focused on Sporting for now. In his latest social media post.
Viktor Gyokeres celebrates league title with Sporting fans
Gyokeres shared a celebratory message with Sporting supporters after the club marked their Liga Portugal title win with a parade through the streets.
The Swedish striker posted multiple photos on Instagram accompanied by the caption: “I want Sporting to be champions…” — a reference to a popular chant among the club’s fans.
It’s no secret the Gunners will sign a new centre-forward this summer, and the striker may be more financially feasible than once thought.
Sporting are willing to sell Gyokeres for just £60 million this summer despite his contract including an £85m release clause.
The Gunners are believed to be weighing up a move for either Gyokeres or RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, though the Swede’s sensational form means he’s unlikely to be short of offers in the coming months.
