Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has identified the 26-year-old as a priority signing to bolster the team’s attacking options. Despite Gyökeres’s release clause being set at £83.5 million, Sporting CP is reportedly open to negotiations around £58.5 million.

Paris Saint-Germain, another club linked with Gyökeres, has reportedly withdrawn from the race, leaving Arsenal in a favorable position to secure the striker’s services.
