Arsenal are close to signing Victor Gyokeres from Sporting, the Swedish international is their main target, so i don't believe any rumors linking Watkins to Arsenal, they might only be interested if the move for Gyokeres falls through, and it likely could, because the president of Sporting is a stumbling block to the deal.
Yes, you are right, so far, the most closed rumor to sign for Arsenal is Gyokeres after their successful signing of Zubimendi earlier. The agreement clause is around €65 million ($76.6m) based on the article that I read and this is so closed for done deal. Additionally, besides Gyokeres, Arsenal is also still working on negotiations with Real Madrid to sign Rodrygo closely, they also want to get that right winger to be on thier player lineup. Moreover, Real Madrid and Xabi have given the green light for Rodrygo to leave, as long as the fee is in line with their expectations. However, they are also facing challenges because on the other hand, rumors also say that SPGPSG also wants him.
