Arsenal are ready to step up their pursuit of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, despite claims that a proposed move to Manchester United is “a done deal.”
The Sweden international is expected to secure a Premier League transfer during the 2025 summer window, amid interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd, although his next club is yet to be confirmed.

Football Insider claim that Man Utd believe they have wrapped up a deal to sign Gyokeres this summer, although GiveMeSport have poured cold water on this report and instead believe that Arsenal remain the frontrunners to land his signature.
The Sweden star is now the Gunners’ top target and they are set to hold talks with his agent soon, as per GiveMeSport.

In fact, Man Utd have reportedly given no indications that they are prepared to submit an offer for Gyokeres this summer.
As a result, Arsenal may have a “free run” at signing the 26-year-old, although we have been told that Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap remain under consideration by the hierarchy at the Emirates Stadium.
Viktor Gyokeres to join Arsenal?
Gyokeres has scored 52 goals and provided 12 assists in 48 appearances so far this season, and Sporting are reportedly willing to listen to offers of around €82 million (£70m), despite the fact that his current contract with the club includes a €100m release clause.
In addition to Gyokeres, Arsenal are also hoping to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams this summer as Arteta looks to oversee a revamp of his attacking roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
