Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres is set to cause a major transfer domino if he joins Arsenal this summer.

The Gunners are actively searching to bring a new centre forward to the club during the 2025 summer transfer window, and they have intensified their pursuit of Gyokeres amid concerns over their ability to fund a move for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Arsenal will be extremely busy this summer, with new sporting director Andrea Berta expected to sanction several high-profile deals as the north London side aim to win the Premier League title for the first time since 2004.

Gyokeres, 26, is one of the club’s key targets and his potential move to the Emirates Stadium could have a monumental effect on the summer transfer market.

The Sporting CP superstar has scored 42 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions so far this season, and Arsenal’s pursuit of his services will indirectly impact the transfer fortunes of both Chelsea and Manchester United, according to The Athletic.

With Gyokeres potentially set to head to Arsenal, Man Utd are expected to target either Liam Delap or Victor Osimhen, as per The Athletic.

Ruben Amorim is reportedly eager to be reunited with Gyokeres at Old Trafford, but the Red Devils are wary of his potential price tag, and the Sweden star may be unwilling to accept a move to a club without Champions League football.

As a result, Man Utd are reportedly exploring a move for Delap, while they are also interested in a potential swap deal involving Alejandro Garnacho as they consider submitting an offer for Napoli forward Osimhen.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have been monitoring Benjamin Sesko’s progress for three years and he is one of five or six options being considered by the Blues hierarchy.

Delap is also on Chelsea’s radar, while the Blues reportedly admire Lille forward Jonathan David, who will become a free agent in July.
