At first, it was reported that the Gunners are interested in Victor Osimhen who will cost not less than €130m for the Gunners to acquire his services. But it seems the Gunners have taken a new turn and now have their eyes on Viktor Gyökeres.

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano confirming the update on his daily briefing for CaughtOffside said: “Osimhen has always been appreciated, but many clubs are cautious now waiting to understand the salary/commission package, as there's already a very expensive release clause to take into consideration.

"This is why Arsenal are looking at other strikers, including Viktor Gyokeres, who remains on their shortlist."

The 25-year-old Swedish striker, Gyökeres has scored 36 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions this season for Sporting CP.
