Either way,
Arsenal should fight to sign Viktor Gyokeres, one of the strikers they need to boost their trophy chances next season. As Fabrizio Roma has said, Viktor Gyokeres is definitely going to leave, despite the player hinting that he will stay with Sporting CP next season. His market value is around £65m, and I think Arsenal would not have too much trouble in paying his release clause.
£65 million is too much. His stats this season are more than impressive he has scored 39 goals in 33 matches for Sporting. He would definitely be a great addition to Arsenal and could help a lot, but the question is whether he would have a similar season as he did at Sporting. Either way, i still think £65 million is a lot.
£65M sounds fair to me, but I heard that there is a little problem with the choice of a striker. From what I heard, Arteta wants Sesko, while the sporting director wants Gyokeres. I think this might actually delay their second signing, which is actually a striker. And according to Fabrizio, both Sesko and Gyokeres are said to leave their clubs at the end of the season. Arteta still values a in and out striker, so I guess that's why he might prefer Sesko to Gyokeres who happens to be to be a proven striker, but a box to box type. Maybe signing both will be a good deal imo. Having a top striker and a second striker is not bad if you ask me.
The sporting director should listen to Arteta and grant him his preferred striker request. Arteta is the one that's training these players, he knows who will give him what he wants I don't know why their sporting director is trying to oppose his choice of Sesko. It could also be that Arteta is considering the fact that Sesko is playing in the Bundesliga, a league that's considered to be more stronger than the Portuguese league. So for Sesko to have flourished there gives him a higher chances of succeeding in the premier League. I don't think it will be possible for Arsenal to buy two hot strikers at a time in same transfer window. And Arteta has made it very obvious that he doesn't want Viktor Gyökeres in his team, so even if the sporting director eventually buys him, his relationship with Arteta won't be solid.
