Ok let's say this is the reason why they got Madueke but what happened to Rodrygo? He's better than Madueke by far or what of Eze? Arsenal have been running to get for some time now or are they not see Adingra who just signed for Sunderland? Like the transfer market have better players that are more productive than Madueke and no one will tell me that is because the price was cheap that's why.
If they are waiting for Sporting CP to accept what they are offering then they should keep waiting till the player Gyökeres decide to change his mind to play for another club not the Gunners. To be honest this Madueke move is never going to help the Gunners in any way unless Arteta will convert him to a striker...who knows very soon Jackson will be moving to join Madueke.
Hope you are aware the first phase of the summer transfer windows has not ended, it will be ending on the 16th of this month. After then second phase will run from 17th July to September 1st. Meaning we have 52 days left until the summer transfer window will close. More than enough time for Arsenal to buy their main targets, and also sell some players to afford getting Rodrygo and Eze to the list. Arteta has promised the fans that the window is a going to be a big one. I believe so far what he has done is to fill up the depth of the team, and he did it so early. Soon he will start ticking the main boxes. And if you asked me I will tell you Gyokeres is a done deal so dont panic, its too early to do that.
