Arsenal do need a striker, and it seems they will focus on bringing in Gyökeres. There is even news that he is willing to take a pay cut to transfer to Arsenal. If that is true, then something that the player really wants to develop his professional career.
The problem is related to Sporting, who really want to sell Gyökeres for a high price. If the deal happens, Arsenal might perform better this season. Everything seems clearer now, let's just wait for their official announcement.
Gyökeres news is the one I am most looking forward in this transfer window and I am sure all the sports media are also highlighting it, you know I check the news almost every day. Day by day the progress is getting closer and optimism increased by 70% well this is a sign that a deal will happen in the near future, yeah maybe this month. Only 2 points make the deal possible, first Arsenal are willing to pay up to 90 million as transfer fee or Viktor Gyökeres rejecting activities with Sporting and willing to pay a fine.
I would expect more from Arsenal for next season if they can bring in Gyökeres, not only for the Premier League but also for the Champions League. Arsenal are currently in 3rd position as candidates to win the league but I am sure things will change if Gyökeres is in the line up.
