Mikel Arteta's Arsenal is determined to take the next step to return to being a protagonist in the European elite. It is no lie that the Spanish coach has given the 'Gunner' team a new face in recent years, and now he seeks to make a definitive impact in the market. Arteta is determined to strengthen his forward line with a top-level signing to establish themselves as one of the best teams.
Despite having made significant investments in recent seasons, Arsenal is still searching for their star forward to complete their dream team. However, this search has set off alarms in Barça's sports management. Both Laporta and Deco are already aware that Arsenal is after the striker most liked in the Barça offices and the blow seems almost definitive.
The Dream Signing
It has been some time since Arsenal announced the signing of Kai Havertz, but the truth is that the German has not met expectations when playing as a forward. In that sense, the London team needs a player who guarantees goals consistently, and the name most liked at Emirates Stadium is Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish forward from Sporting Portugal has long been on Arteta's wish list and Arsenal is determined to make a firm offensive in the next market.
According to the latest information, Arsenal seems willing to put more than 100 million euros on the table to secure his signing. The Spanish coach wants to ensure Gyökeres's presence in the Gunner squad next season. With this, Arsenal would finally polish the last details of the great squad that Arteta has in mind.
Direct Blow to Barça
At 26 years old, Viktor Gyökeres has become one of the best forwards in Europe. The Sporting striker has proven to be a lethal scorer and has aroused the interest of several clubs, including FC Barcelona. However, Arsenal's offensive has complicated any aspirations of Laporta and company considering that there is a lot of money on the table.
Barça's economic situation makes it so that the Barça team can't compete with the financial power of their rivals. Arsenal is willing to make a tremendous effort, knowing that is the price if Arteta wants to secure his signing without negotiating. Thus, the coming days will be key to knowing what Viktor Gyökeres's future will be.
