Arsenal has reportedly made an opening offer of £63.5m for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, as Mikel Arteta seeks to strengthen his squad for a title-winning campaign.
The Gunners face champions Liverpool on Sunday, and a third consecutive second-placed finish will only intensify the pressure on Arteta to deliver silverware in 2025-26.
Gyokeres: A Clinical Finisher
Gyokeres has scored 53 goals for club and country this season, outshining Arsenal’s current number nine, Kai Havertz, who has scored 17.
This signing would significantly boost Arsenal’s attacking prowess, particularly in the final third, where they’ve struggled to find the back of the net.
Building a Title-Winning Squad
With midfielders Thomas Partey and Jorginho’s contracts expiring, Arteta may prioritize midfield reinforcements.

Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi has been linked with a move to the Emirates, and his exceptional ball control would enhance Arsenal’s progression up the pitch.
Potential Impact
Signing Gyokeres and Zubimendi would demonstrate Arteta’s commitment to building a title-winning squad.
With a potential spend of around £800m, Arsenal would have a star-studded lineup capable of challenging for major honors.
