A clause in Viktor Gyökeres’s contract could make it difficult for Sporting CP to turn down offers for him that don’t meet their asking price.

Gyokeres is thought to favour a switch to the Emirates and Arsenal’s sporting director, Andrea Berta, met with Gyokeres’ agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, to discuss a move for the prolific Swede last month.

Arsenal could be set to head into the 2025/26 with a frightening starting XI. Mikel Arteta’s side are expected to splash the cash ahead of next season, with a reshuffle in attack now firmly on the cards.
