Arsenal have been strongly linked with the idea of acquiring a new striker since last summer.
Reports suggest that the Gunners are gearing up to pursue the signing of Sporting CP striker Victor Gyokeres this summer.
Arsenal’s striker situation: Assessing options and transfer speculation
In their current first-team squad, the Gunners have Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, and Kai Havertz as the main center-forward options.
Speculation increased during the January transfer window about Arsenal possibly seeking a new striker, especially with Jesus missing several matches this season due to injury
However, Mikel Arteta chose not to make any new signings during the window, including not adding a striker to his squad. As the summer transfer window approaches, there are emerging reports about potential business the Gunners might undertake at the end of the season.
The latest rumors focus on Gyokeres at Sporting. According to reports from Italy, AC Milan are interested in signing Gyokeres but will face competition from Arsenal.
MilanLive has claimed that the North London club is actively pursuing the signing of Gyokeres this summer, potentially meeting the striker’s release clause.
