Exactly right, that's why Arsenal are so aggressive in this transfer window and they are not giving up on targeting the striker. Almost all of us think Arsenal will be different next season especially if they manage to bring in Viktor Gyokeres it means the fight will be more intense between 3 other elite clubs Liverpool, Manchester City or Chelsea. Previously I thought if Gyokeres failed to come to Arsenal then the other option would be Osimhen but maybe Osimhen will ask for a higher salary therefore Gyokeres is still the main target..
We have seen a lot of goals Viktor Gyokeres has scored for Sporting CP since Ruben Amorim signed him, and I think if Arsenal could be able to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP this season, I believe Arsenal has gotten the point man that can successfully lead them to win the Premier League title. If Arsenal fails to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, Arsenal will not likely go for Victor Osimhen because Napoli wants to sell Victor Osimhen at £75m, and Arsenal won't want to buy a player that will be a free agent next season at that high price.
One thing you guys has forgotten is that Portuguese Ligue is not as strong as premier league, yes I know Viktor Gyokeres is a good player but that doesn't mean he will give Arsenal the premier league trophy if he comes, it may be possible but we shouldn't talk about it as if it is certain or guarantee and don't be surprise when he will come to England and won't play like he use to... In his former club, I will love to watch him play in Arsenal and see how far arsenal will go next season and I'm sure he has different offer but I believe he will choose a club that will make him shine well which Manchester united can not do that for him, judging based on current performance though.
every other player that is coming into the premier league comes with a full understanding of how competitive the league is so naturally, they always have no choice than bringing something more to the table as that is the only way they can blend into the huge responsibility of a team that is struggling to win trophies again after going trophy less for multiple of seasons. Gyokeres alone can not be the force that will bring about arsenals ability to winning trophy. if that is going to happen, it will definitely come from all the players who will put in all the effort to see that they play better than they have been doing in the previous seasons. that mentality of sitting back when the season starts and doing nothing serious throwing away point that matter and later in the season struggling to recover those point is a major thing hey have to first deal with. if they succeed in dealing with that and can play together as a complete team, then the possibility of hoping for the league for this season will even be close to realistic.
