Arsenal go for Viktor Gyokeres! Gunners lodge €75m opening bid for Sporting CP goal machine as Chelsea transfer fears are revealed

<p>After going trophyless in yet another disappointing campaign this year, Arsenal are in desperate need of a new centre-forward ahead of the 2025-26 season. According to <a href="https://www.cmjornal.pt/" target="_blank"><em>Correio da Manha</em></a>, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/advantage-arsenal-viktor-gyokeres-transfer-stance-revealed-potential-sporting-cp-exit/blt1f8d9a872aca49db#cs3e5212a9378fcd68" target="_blank">Gunners have submitted an offer</a> worth €75 million (£63m/$84m) for Sporting talisman Gyokeres. However, the report adds that the Portuguese side's president Frederico Varandas sees this as an opening bid as he aims to get more money for the prolific hitman.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While the north London club are desperate to win the transfer battle for the Swedish striker, they are fearful of fellow Premier League side Chelsea as they believe the Blues could place an offer close to the player's release clause of €100m (£85m/$112m).</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mikel Arteta's side are on the verge of completing their first signing of the new season as they have reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-martin-zubimendi-agrees-personal-terms-transfer-real-madrid-barcelona/blt828e164e0da8776d" target="_blank">agreed personal terms with Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi</a>. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal will play their penultimate match of the season on Sunday as they visit Anfield to take on newly-crowned English champions Liverpool. They will hope their potential reinforcements can help them close the gap in 2025-26.</p>
