Huge upgrade on Merino: Berta wants Arsenal to sign £55m "goal machine"
Apr 13, 2025
Here's a not particularly original statement: Arsenal should probably sign a striker!
The Gunners' Premier League title hopes have been over for a while now, and it's their lack of attacking firepower that supporters want to see addressed in the summer.
Saturday's 1-1 draw with Brentford was the 22nd time in all competitions Mikel Arteta's team have scored either zero or one goal in a match, doing so in a whopping 50% of their Premier League fixtures.
Thus, do the Gunners lead the race for one of Europe's most sought-after centre-forwards?
Which striker are Arsenal seeking to sign?
According to a report by Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are hoping to complete the signing of Sporting Clube de Portugal striker Viktor Gyökeres, who he believes will be available for as little as £55m this summer.
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
David Ornstein and James McNicholas of the Athletic previously reported that the Gunners have 'developed a strong interest' in the Swedish international striker, with recently appointed new sporting director Andrea Berta described as a long-term admirer.
They add that Arteta's preference would actually be to sign Gyökeres' international teammate Alexander Isak, but Newcastle United 'have no intention' of selling their most-prized asset, let alone to a direct rival.
