The club hopes to finalize the deal early, fending off competition from rivals Manchester United, who are also in the race. Arsenal had been interested in Nigerian goal-machine Victor Osimhen but were reportedly put off by his price and wage demands.
Gyokeres has been in scintillating form, netting an astonishing 54 goals in 52 matches for Sporting in the just concluded season, cementing his status as one of the world’s most lethal strikers.
The report also states that the Gunners could turn their attention to Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, should they fail to land Gyokeres.
