As Arsenal gear up for the 2025 summer transfer window, their pursuit of Sporting CP’s prolific striker Viktor Gyokeres has taken centre stage, with talks being lead by new sporting director Andrea Berta.
Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen the Gunners’ attacking line, and the 25-year-old Swede, who has been a revelation in Portugal, is a top priority to lead Arsenal’s charge for the 2025-26 Premier League title.
Gyokeres has been in sensational form, scoring 22 goals and providing eight assists in 29 Primeira Liga matches this season. His physicality, clinical finishing, and ability to link play have drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland, making him an ideal fit for Arteta’s system.

Graeme Bailey recently provided an update on Arsenal’s pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres: “In terms of Alexander Isak, I’m told that if he leaves Newcastle, Liverpool are leading the race for him — I think Arsenal have been fairly accepting of that for the last few months.
“Arsenal sources have told me this week that Viktor Gyokeres is getting all the attention at the Emirates now.
“Essentially if something comes up they will assess it, but the focus is on Gyokeres at the moment, Andrea Berta feels like he is the one — Arsenal aren’t going out there and saying it but it does feel like that.
“I’m told that Benjamin Sesko’s people are having conversations with other clubs, which they are more than entitled to do.

“We know that Arsenal have done a lot of work on him, but keep an eye on Chelsea when it comes to Sesko.
“All the striker dominoes we’ve been talking about, we sort of know how it is mapping out now.
“I do believe that Gyokeres will end up at Arsenal, most likely and Liam Delap could go to Man United.
“Liverpool and Chelsea will be interesting, Chelsea are open to a project type striker like Sesko. But Liverpool want the finished product, a bit like Arsenal.”
Arsenal’s broader transfer strategy, being lead by Andrea Berta, includes targets like Martin Zubimendi and Anthony Gordon, signaling an aggressive approach to reclaim domestic and European glory.
Gyokeres’ arrival could provide the cutting edge Arsenal need, especially after their narrow miss in the 2024-25 title race. With the transfer window approaching, fans are buzzing with anticipation, hopeful that Gyokeres will don the red and white, igniting a new era of success at the Emirates.
