Arsenal has entered into “advanced” negotiations to secure a marquee signing, responding to interest from Premier League champions Liverpool. New sporting director Andrea Berta is reportedly making a significant impact as Edu’s successor.
Mikel Arteta’s future is under scrutiny following a trophyless season for Arsenal. Excluding the Community Shield, it has been five years since Arsenal last secured a major trophy.
According to reports, Arsenal is in advanced negotiations to acquire Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres. The Sweden international seems set to depart from Sporting after scoring 50 goals across all competitions, and some media outlets claim that Arsenal has already proposed personal terms of £135,000 per week for him to join (A Bola).
Recently, CaughtOffside revealed that Arsenal’s negotiations to sign Gyokeres are at an “advanced” stage, and they are currently leading the pursuit for his signature, outpacing both Liverpool and Manchester United. Arteta’s team is reportedly nearing a five-year contract for the striker, with the deal valued at approximately £9 million per year.
While Liverpool and United continue to compete, Arsenal holds the advantage, with the former Coventry City star, who has an £84 million release clause in his contract, seemingly on the verge of returning to England.
