Chelsea have joined Arsenal in trying to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP this summer. The Swedish striker has caught the eye of several top clubs.

Last weekend, Arsenal held talks with Gyokeres’ agent in Lisbon to discuss a possible transfer. The 26-year-old forward is seen as an important addition to their squad.

Reports say Arsenal made a big offer of about £58.7 million to sign Gyokeres. They are also ready to give him a five-year contract with a weekly wage of £110,000.

However, it’s not just Arsenal interested. According to Portuguese media outlet Record, Chelsea and Italian club Juventus have also reached out to Gyokeres this week. Both clubs want to learn more about his situation at Sporting.

Gyokeres has been impressive since joining Sporting from Coventry City in 2023. His performances have attracted attention from several clubs.

Last year, there were rumors he might leave Sporting, but he decided to stay for another season. Now, with interest from big teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Juventus, he has an important choice to make about his future this summer.

Will Gyokeres stay at Sporting, or will he move to a new club? The coming weeks will be exciting for the player and fans alike.
