FC Arsenal is approaching the next major transfer and could secure one of the most sought -after strikers on the market: Viktor Gyökeres (27) should agree on a contract with the Gunners. And the negotiations with Sporting Lisbon also seem to proceed with regard to the transfer.
Ask this breakthrough in relation to Benjamin Sesko (22) from RB Leipzig, who should also agree with the Gunners. On Sunday, Arsenal had already confirmed Martín Zubimendi’s commitment, which, with 65 million euros, becomes the fourth most fourth place in the club history. Gyökeres would get even higher in the ranking.
Loud “The athletic“When it comes to a five -year contract. Gyökeres is said to have preferred Arsenal for a long time. Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano also writes that the Swede only wanted to go to the Gunners. He recently informed his club in Lisbon.
Gyökeres had again outbid his strong first season in Lisbon 2023/24 with 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 competitive games. In the past season, in which the 27-year-old scored three of his six Champions League hits against Manchester City, he even came up with a total of 67 goal participations; 54 goals and 13 templates in 52 games.
Soon most expensive Swede: Gyökeres instead of Sesco to Arsenal?
Sporting transferred 13 million euros to Coventry City for the former Brighton cup, which had been loaned by FC St. Pauli in 2019/20. Since then, the Stockholmer market value has increased to 75 million euros today. With a long -term contract by 2028, Arsenal will have to do a lot of financial persuasion in order to be able to rescue the striker from Portugal.
Then Gyökeres, as the new most expensive Swedish footballer, should go down in the statistics. The rank has been held for several years of Alexander Isak for several years, for which Newcastle United paid 70 million euros – just more than Barcelona 2009 for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Isak had also been a topic at Arsenal for years, while this year another top -class striker is considered a hot candidate for a contract in Holloway: Sesko from RB Leipzig.
It was also reported that he agreed with Arsenal. Here, too, the clubs still lack. It is questionable that Sesko could go to Arsenal in addition to Gyökeres. With the red bulls, Sesko has had no exit clause in his contract since his contract extension a year ago. With the Saxons, however, there should be an agreement to be able to go at a fair price if a possible major project for the player should open up. As a Leipzig price presentation, there was recently an amount of up to EUR 100 million.
