Arsenal made an official bid for Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon. The English club wants to sign the forward after his outstanding season performances. Daily Mail reports Arsenal submitted their first offer to the Portuguese team. Manchester United also shows interest but Sporting demands the full buyout clause of 84 million pounds. The club refuses to accept less money for their star player.
Arsenal offered 55 million euros with 10 million more based on performance bonuses according to Record newspaper. Sporting will likely reject this proposal because it falls short of their asking price. New talks between both clubs seem necessary to reach an agreement. The Portuguese side stands firm on their valuation despite Arsenal pushing for a lower fee. Another round of negotiations appears inevitable.
Gyökeres had a spectacular campaign with Sporting at age 27. He found the net 54 times across all competitions this season. The Swedish international also created 13 assists for teammates during 52 total appearances. His remarkable goal scoring record attracted attention from top European clubs. Arsenal sees him as the perfect addition to strengthen their attacking options.
