Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The news comes just days after the Swede refused to report for pre-season with the Portuguese side. Mikel Arteta has prioritised the 27-year-old as his new No. 9 and a five-year contract is ready, with The Athletic suggesting the deal is worth €73.5 million (£63.4m/$86m).
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has blasted a section of the Arsenal fan base which has severely criticised Noni Madueke on social media.
Viktor Gyokeres believes he is one of football's top strikers, saying he sits at the 'same table' as Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowksi and Erling Haaland.
Marseille have contacted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over potentially bringing him back to Stade Velodrome. The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker left Marseille last summer and joined Al-Qadsiah. However, the Saudi Pro League side are now planning to terminate his contract one year before its expiry date, which has alerted the French giants.
Former Liverpool forward Dean Saunders has lashed out at Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri over his stance on a contract extension. Nwaneri has entered the final year of his existing deal and has reportedly issued an ultimatum to the Gunners, with the teenage sensation yet to sign fresh terms. Nwaneri is highly rated by the north London side and they want to secure his long-term future.
Viktor Gyokeres' proposed move to Arsenal could collapse amid an 'impasse' in negotiations with Sporting CP. Gunners officials have left Lisbon after failing to strike a final agreement with the Portuguese club. If the deal falls through, Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce are ready to try and sign the striker on loan.
Arsenal are "unable to comment" after Thomas Partey was formally charged with multiple sexual offences. The Metropolitan Police have charged Partey with a total of six offences, five of them being rape and one of sexual assault. These charges are connected to allegations made by three different women.
Leandro Trossard has made a significant change off the pitch that’s triggered speculation about his Arsenal future. The Belgium international recently ended his long-standing partnership with agent Josy Comhair and has now joined DH Sports and Entertainment Agency, a Germany-based firm. The timing of this development, alongside a stalled contract negotiation, has fans and pundits wondering if a move away from north London could be on the horizon.
Arsenal are actively exploring their options to bolster the attacking unit ahead of the upcoming season, with high-profile names such as Rodrygo and Anthony Gordon emerging as potential recruits. The Gunners’ pursuit of reinforcements, however, is intrinsically linked to the future of Gabriel Martinelli.
