Arsenal and Chelsea to do battle for Viktor Gyokeres?! London rivals both eye Sporting CP striker after learning of €70m summer promise

According to A Bola, via Sport Witness, Arsenal are the main candidate to sign Gyokeres this summer, but Chelsea are trying to beat them to his signature. The report adds that the Swede has an agreement with Sporting to leave for around €70m (£60m) despite him having a €100m (£85.7m) release clause.

Arsenal fans have been crying out for the club to sign a new number nine after years of failing to do so and despite having Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea's attack could arguably be more potent. Therefore, Gyokeres may provide the clinical touch they need after scoring 44 goals in 45 games for the Portuguese giants this season.

The report adds that Chelsea are well aware that the 26-year-old would prefer to join Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester City, but as the latter two aren't showing interest, the Gunners would be his ideal move.

All eyes will be on where the former Coventry City star heads this summer as teams queue up to secure his services.
