According to reports, Arsenal are set to miss out on Viktor Gyokeres, who is \u2018crazy to sign\u2019 for another club as they prepare a \u2018full-throttle offer\u2019.<\/p>\n
Another day, another batsh*t Gyokeres<\/strong> <\/a>report\u2026<\/p>\n Heading into this summer, Gyokeres presumably hoped that his future would be settled by the end of June, as he reportedly had the benefit of a gentleman\u2019s agreement with Sporting Lisbon over his exit.<\/p>\n However, Gyokeres appears to have fallen out with Sporting Lisbon\u2019s hierarchy, who have decided to go back on their arrangement and demand a higher fee for their prized asset.<\/p>\n To some extent, this is fair enough as the 27-year-old has scored 97 goals in 102 appearances since moving to the Primeira Liga champions from Coventry City and should demand a huge bid.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Transfer rumour power ranking: New Arsenal striker link, Liverpool eye Guehi alternative<\/a> But it is also easy to see why Gyokeres is infuriated as he finds himself in limbo after Sporting Lisbon made transfer negotiations more complicated.<\/p>\n For Gyokeres, it is at least positive that he is not short of interest, with Arsenal and Man Utd said to be the two most interested Premier League sides in securing his services.<\/p>\n The 2025 top scorer in Europe contender has also attracted interest from European and Saudi Pro League sides, with a report on Monday morning revealing the potential \u2018total cost\u2019 of a deal for the 27-year-old this summer.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Last week, it was claimed that Premier League champions Liverpool have joined the race for Gyokeres, but Fabrizio Romano insisted a move to Arsenal is his \u201cpriority\u201d.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI\u2019m not aware of contacts ongoing for Gyokeres at this stage. His priority now is Arsenal, then we will see later in the window.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ARSENAL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> You do tend to trust Romano\u2019s word on these matters, so probably take the following report from an outlet in Spain with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n This is because it is boldly claimed that the Gunners and other Premier League clubs are \u2018behind\u2019 Atletico Madrid in the race to sign Gyokeres.<\/p>\n Atletico are being \u2018patient\u2019 as they are laying the groundwork to make a \u2018full-throttle bid\u2019 for Gyokeres later in the window, but they have reportedly emerged as the \u2018most appealing club\u2019 he\u2019s \u2018crazy to sign for\u2019.<\/p>\n The report adds:<\/p>\n \u2018Gyokeres has told Sporting his desire to leave if a suitable offer comes in, and the Portuguese club won\u2019t put up any obstacles if his release clause is paid.<\/p>\n \u2018Atletico Madrid is working calmly but confidently: they know the Swede wants to wear the red and white jersey and that, if everything falls into place in August, the signing can be completed. It will be a complex, but also strategic, operation. Gy\u00f6keres is eager to sign\u2026 and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid is already waiting for him.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, Arsenal are set to miss out on Viktor Gyokeres, who is \u2018crazy to sign\u2019 for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[161,1029,13,225,98,12,101,10031,14,165],"class_list":{"0":"post-226909","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-atletico-madrid","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-home-page","12":"tag-manchester-united","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-premier-league","15":"tag-soccer","16":"tag-top-stories","17":"tag-viktor-gyokeres"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114772971624450992","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
