Arsenal reportedly decided to leave the race to sign the sport’s Lisbon striker Victor Gyoker because he was too expensive at 800,000 euros.
Records show that Gunner is currently set to turn his attention to signing either Benjamin Sesco in RB Leipzig or Ollie Watkins in Aston Villa.
Gyokeres has been a revelation since moving to the sport, scoring an astonishing 97 goals in 102 matches in every competition for the club.
Swedish International used to struggle with playing time at Brighton, but actually created his own name in the championship with Coventry City.
But now it’s easy to understand why Arsenal thought of him, even if they seem to support Sesco or Watkins now.
Viktor Gyoker forwards Saga and adds another twist
Gyokeres has been the subject of a lot of speculation recently, with Manchester United also linked to the 27-year-old.
However, there have been some claims that Gyoker has decided to reject Red Devils.
However, Ben Jacobs played it, so see below.
Gyoker himself doesn’t say much about his future, but he appears to be digging into some of the comments being made about him.
“There’s a lot of talk at the moment, but most of them are wrong,” Gyoker said last week, as Fabrizio Romano reported. “I’ll talk when the time comes.”
Who should sign up before Arsenal this summer?
Gyokeres’ goals record in the sport is outstanding, but Arsenal might be better off going for someone with a more proven track record in one of the more competitive leagues.
Sesco is young and already impressed by the Bundesliga, but Watkins has the advantage of being proven in the Premier League.
Let’s take a look at the scores of the past two seasons…
| player | game | the goal |
| Viktor | 102 | 97 |
| Benjamin Sesco | 87 | 39 |
| Ollie Watkins | 107 | 44 |
