The situation in Arsenal is excellent, since after its return to the top of the Premier League, it also qualified for the “8” phase of the Champions League.
In the excellent season his team is having Mikel Arteta, a black point is the absence of a striker with scoring appeal. Gabriel Jesus and Eddy Nketiah, who cover the position, have scored just nine goals, with the goals coming from the rest of the lines.
In this spirit, the people of the club are considering cases of central strikers, with Victor Gyokeres to be the top transfer target. In the summer, an acquisition attempt is expected for the Swede, where he has a release clause of 100 million euros in his contract.
The 25-year-old leads Sporting Lisbon to the top of the league, having scored 33 goals and 12 assists in 37 matches, and is understandably attracting interest from several of the big teams. Chelsea were interested at Christmas, even submitting an offer of 80 million euros, but it was rejected by the management of the Portuguese team.
Gyokeres had also shown in the past that he has the instinct of a scorer, when with 22 goals and 10 assists he led Coventry to the Championship playoffs in the 22/23 season.

The Swede is expected to be a “bone of contention” among the London teams, however the financial problems facing Chelsea can work positively for the “gunners”.
