According to reports, many believed Gyokeres’ transfer would become one of the most controversial summer transfer sagas, but the story did not last long. The striker, who was wanted by half of Europe’s top clubs, now seems to have decided on his next destination.

His destination is none other than Arsenal, which, despite an outstanding performance in the Champions League and Premier League, ended another season without a trophy and now needs a prolific striker more than ever.

Undoubtedly, this Swedish striker will be an ideal complement to the cohesive team built by the Spanish coach at Emirates. With his arrival, Arsenal will once again be one of the main contenders for all trophies. According to almost all major British newspapers on Wednesday, Gyokeres’ transfer to the Gunners is almost finalized, with a fee of around £60 million (approximately €70 million).

Despite intense competition from other clubs to sign the player, Arsenal has taken the lead. This is largely due to the significant salary offered, which, according to British media reports, will make him one of the highest-paid players at the club: over £200,000 per week.

However, this deal between Sporting CP and Arsenal may not be limited to just this transfer. Some Portuguese media have reported that the London club is also eyeing two other players, but no negotiations have started yet.
