Arsenal are entering the summer transfer window in search of a solution to their attacking woes, with Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres emerging as a potential candidate.
His impressive displays at Sporting CP have caught the club’s eye, and he appears to favour Arsenal over other top-tier options. With key forwards sidelined by injuries, could Gyökeres be the missing piece to rejuvenate their frontline and challenge for the title next season?

00:00Arsenal are gearing up for a major summer transfer window with several areas of their
00:06squad needing reinforcements.
00:10One of the top targets is Victor Llores, the Swedish striker currently playing for Sporting.
00:15With a standout season in Portugal, Llores has garnered significant attention and reports
00:21suggest he sees Arsenal as one of his preferred Premier League destinations should he make
00:27the move to England.
00:29Interestingly, his former coaches club Manchester United is not among his preferred choices
00:35according to reports from Portugal.
00:38While Llores has a hefty release clause of £84m, it's believed that Arsenal could secure
00:44him for a significantly lower fee, potentially around £60m due to a gentlemen's agreement
00:50with Sporting.
00:52Fabrizio Romano has reported that a bid between £55m and £64m could be enough to secure
00:58his signature, which many European clubs are now actively exploring.
01:03As Arsenal look to bolster their attacking options, Llores fits the profile of the striker
01:08Mikel Arteta is seeking, a versatile, powerful forward whose goals will add depth to their
01:14front line.
01:16Injuries to Gabriel Jesus, Bakayo Saka and Kai Havertz have left Arsenal with a weakened
01:21attack this season.
01:23William Saliba has admitted that Arsenal's current position doesn't justify being at
01:27the top of the league, trailing points behind Liverpool.
01:31A top-tier striker like Llores could provide the spark needed for a title challenge in
01:37the future.
01:38Not enough firepower off the bench, the players that started the game didn't do enough, and
01:44looking like a pretty bad end to the season for Arsenal in terms of the Premier League
01:49I think.
01:51On the goalkeeper front, David Reyes' inconsistent performances have sparked Arsenal's interest
01:56in Joan Garcia of Espanyol.
01:58The 23-year-old is impressed this season and Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to
02:02sign him for around £30m.
02:06With Arteta looking to strengthen multiple areas, both Llores and Garcia could be key
02:11signings this summer.
