Arsenal has come a very long way in the past few seasons.
Just four years ago, Mikel Arteta’s side had declined in the middle of the table, but subsequent campaigns failed to make it into the top four.
Since then, North Londoners have made it to the Champions League quarterfinals, finishing at runner-up in the Premier League 3 campaign on bounces.

But it’s time for the club to make good their transformation and ultimately lift up the major silverware for next season.
Arsenal forwarding news
The club has been closer to achieving something great over the last few years, but it’s still short, so it’s not too surprising to see an attacker linking to some of the attackers who can provide that extra push in recent weeks. Stars such as Morgan Rogers and Nico Williams.
The former could potentially be used for a fee of as much as £100 million this summer, but that’s an astronomical sum, but it’s hard to say he’s not worth it as he scored 14 goals and provided 15 assists in 54 Aston Villa appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Williams is less productive, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists in Athletic Bilbao’s 45 games, but he has since reportedly also has a release clause worth £50 million in the current deal.
But both players will certainly improve on Arteta’s side next season, but unlike Viktor Gyoker, they may not change that completely.
Yes, according to reports from Spain, Arsenal has maintained their fierce interest in sports CP strikers ahead of the resumption of transfers next week.
In fact, the report revealed that alongside Premier League rival Manchester United, the Gunners have already submitted an offer for the Swedish star.
However, the Portuguese outfit would cost 80 million euros, which would cost around £68 million.
Fitting that fee represents a serious financial investment, but Gyoker’s incredible abilities and records suggest that it is worth it, especially as it has won a comparison with Mbappé.
How Gyoker compares to Mbappé
Before we look into some of the other reasons Arsenal wants to sign Gyoker this summer, it’s worth looking into this comparison with Mbappé, as Real Madrid forward is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of world football.
Well, in this case, it comes from FBREF, and this season we’ve looked at players in similar positions in the Champions League and created a list of the 10 most comparable players.
By doing this, the French concluded that they are number one in all competitions this season, most similar to Swedish International.

The best way to see how this is resolved is to look at the underlying metrics that the pair ranks closely, including but not limited to assists, non-comprehensive goals, assists, progressive carry, goals per shot, passing into penalty areas, shot-making actions, and more.
That said, comparing it to one of the world’s best and most exciting players is certainly encouraging, but there’s another big reason why gunners have to do everything they can to sign the former Coventry City star. His ridiculous output.
In his first season in the sport, the Stockholm-born “Powerhouse,” dubbed by respected analyst Ben Matinson, earned a sensational distance of 43 goals and managed to score 15 assists in a total of 4,169 minutes of appearances.
Then, like a one-man mission to prove he’s not just a wonder of the season, the 27-year-old Marksman got even better this year, scoring 54 goals and providing 13 assists in a total of 4,248 minutes.
Ultimately, Gyokeres is a lean average scoring machine, and like Mbappé, who could lead a team to multiple league titles, so Arsenal should do everything he can to sign this summer.
