ARSENAL appears ready to make a decisive move for Sporting CP striker, Viktor Gyökeres.
According to L’Équipe, the Gunners are prepared to pay Gyökeres’ £84 million release clause as they accelerate plans to sign the Swedish forward.
Arsenal are reportedly looking to hijack Manchester United’s interest in Gyökeres, with United initially considering a summer move. Arsenal’s urgency stems from their need to strengthen their attacking options in January.
The Swedish international has been in impressive form for Sporting Lisbon this season, scoring 32 goals and providing six assists in 30 games, and has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
According to recent reports, Arsenal is now willing to pay the £84 million release clause to sign Gyokeres, moving them one step closer to bringing the 26-year-old to the Emirates Stadium.
This development is a significant boost to Arsenal’s chances of signing the player, as no other club has been willing to meet the release clause.
Gyokeres has been a key player for Sporting Lisbon this season, and his form has not gone unnoticed by top European clubs.
Manchester United has also been linked with a move for the player, with manager, Ruben Amorim, hoping to convince Gyokeres to join the Red Devils instead of Arsenal.
However, it appears that Arsenal is now in a stronger position to sign the player.

The Gunners’ desperation to sign a new striker has been heightened by the recent injury to Gabriel Jesus, who has torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.
Even before Jesus’ injury, Arsenal had been urged to recruit a new, world-class striker to aid them in their quest for the Premier League trophy.
Gyokeres would be a significant signing for Arsenal, bringing a new level of quality and depth to the club’s attacking options.
The player’s desire to play for one of the best teams in Europe makes him a good fit for the Gunners, and his impressive form for Sporting Lisbon suggests that he has the quality to make a significant impact in the Premier League.
