He has enjoyed a stunning season, scoring 47 goals in 46 games in all competitions. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Baptista, who played for the Gunners in the 2006-07 season, has now claimed that Berta, a recent appointment at the Emirates, is a long-term admirer of the former Coventry City striker and suggested that the Gunners could launch a summer bid.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.footitalia.com/news/julio-baptista-interview/" target="_blank">footitalia.com</a>, the Brazilian said: “Then there’s Viktor Gyokeres, too. The boy has incredible numbers. 45 games, 44 goals, 11 assists. Arsenal are one of the teams that are supposed to be really interested in him, and I can see why. I think the new Sporting Director Andrea Berta really likes him; he was on his radar when he was the Sporting Director at Atletico Madrid."</p>
