Striker Dubbed ‘Better Than Haaland’ Targeted by Arsenal’s New Director
In a bold move signaling their intent for the upcoming transfer window, Arsenal is eyeing a top striker to bolster their squad. With their Premier League title hopes fading once more, the Gunners are on the hunt for a prolific goal-scorer to lead the line.
While names like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have been tossed around, Arsenal is now turning their attention to Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres. The Gunners fear losing out on Isak to Liverpool, prompting them to explore other options.
Agent of Gyokeres is reportedly planning a visit to Arsenal this week, suggesting a potential move for the Swedish forward. Gyokeres, who has netted an impressive 43 goals in as many appearances for Sporting this season, has attracted significant interest from the North London club.
The player’s representatives are set to attend Arsenal’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid, indicating serious discussions could be on the horizon. Despite Gyokeres’ hefty £85m release clause, Arsenal is hopeful of negotiating a lower fee for the talented attacker.
Andrea Berta, Arsenal’s new director, is a keen admirer of Gyokeres, having monitored him during his time at Atletico Madrid. Former Dutch player Rafael van der Vaart even went as far as to label Gyokeres as a ‘better version of Erling Haaland,’ sparking excitement among Arsenal fans.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Arsenal is gearing up for a potential squad overhaul, with Gyokeres emerging as a prime target. The Gunners are poised to make significant moves in the market, aiming to strengthen their squad for the challenges ahead.
