Liverpool and Arsenal won the Premier League title in 2024/25, but now they could be involved in another fight off the pitch.
The Premier League giants are both looking to sign new strikers this summer, with both clubs likely targeting the same player.
While the Reds consider replacing Darwin Nunes, who can sell to Naples this summer, gunners are targeting new attackers to lead the offense next season.
Liverpool joins Arsenal with Viktor Gyokeres Race
Liverpool is currently in a race to sign Arsenal and Manchester United’s Target Victor Gyoker.
The Swedish international striker has been called “world class” after showing consistency over the past few seasons.
Swedish International has emerged as one of Europe’s most coveted forwards following an explosive season in Portugal, and the Premier League champions now seem ready to make their move.
Initially, Arsenal appeared to have an advantage. Gyoker reportedly told the Sporting hierarchy that he intended to join the gunners and refused training if movement was blocked.
However, Liverpool’s entry has taken this into a three-way battle following news that Nunes was out.
Gyoker wants to quit sports this summer
Whether Liverpool is prepared to match Arsenal’s financial conditions is understood to be assessing resources following a prominent summer transfer, but Liverpool remains unseen.
Arne Slot’s side has already signed Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong this summer, and he is aiming to add a new striker to his team.
Arsenal appears in Paul’s position, partly because of the preferences Gyoker states, but Liverpool’s fresh involvement adds fire to the pursuit.
Both the Reds and the gunners are also interested in Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon move, but for him, Liverpool is ahead of their Premier League rivals.
Official approach soon: Liverpool prepares for another marquee signature
