Arsenal are reportedly willing to fork out the €100 million release clause in Viktor Gyokeres’ contract during the summer window.
According to Correio de Manha via Sport Witness, Arsenal are open to paying Viktor Gyokeres’ €100 million release clause to sign the 36-goal star in the summer. The Swedish striker has been on a hot streak for Sporting CP this season and continues to attract massive interest.
Arsenal ready to pay Viktor Gyokeres release clause?
Arsenal are keen on a new forward this summer as Mikel Arteta remains intent on bringing a top-notch option to elevate his squad’s quality. With the Gunners leading the Premier League charts for most goals scored, there’s a big argument whether they need an out-and-out striker to bolster their team, although they might bring in that striker.
As per multiple reports, Viktor Gyokeres is a priority target as the 36-goal star for Sporting CP, who has been having a phenomenal season so far. Signing him will be a big statement, especially when some of their rivals boast prolific No.9s in their sides, whether in the Premier League or Europe.
As for Gyokeres, he has a massive €100 million asking price, although some may argue he doesn’t warrant that price tag despite his prolific numbers. Yet, the report states, Arsenal are willing to fork out the €100 million release clause for the 36-goal star and get the forward to north London.
Another story said they are open to selling some fringe stars, like Reiss Nelson, to help fund Gyokeres. While the report claims the Gunners are willing to pay up, Mikel Arteta’s side is more likely to sit down with Sporting and figure out an agreement, most certainly for a lower price.
Arsenal faces intense competition for Gyokeres
Gyokeres has undoubtedly proved himself to be one of the most lethal forwards in Europe this season, and it has undoubtedly garnered massive interest in his signature. Manchester United are keen and as are Chelsea, with the latter having pursued the Swede at length since January.
Chelsea may have an advantage in the race, and the striker does fit their transfer policy of signing players under a specific age. Moreover, they are the side most in need of a traditional No.9, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side has struggled for relevance without one. Hence, Arsenal will face massive competition for the striker, although there are doubts whether they will pay up to that €100 million release clause.
