Arsenal is preparing a winter blockbuster: Viktor Gyökeres in sight

The Arsenal suffered a heavy blow after Bukayo Saka was forced to undergo surgery due to a hamstring injury. The English forward will be out for more than two months, during which the 'gunners' will not only be fighting for their chances in the Premier League but also their future in the Champions League.

For this reason, the offices at the Emirates Stadium are seriously considering entering the winter transfer market in search of a reinforcement for their attack. According to 'Football Insider', Samuel Chukwueze would be one of the club's top candidates as he has a similar profile to Saka, but the management is considering making a 'blockbuster' move by bringing in Viktor Gyökeres.

Will Gyökeres move in the middle of the season?

The Swede remains a target for the top clubs on the continent, and the Londoners would like to get ahead of their rivals in the race this January. Following the departure of Rúben Amorim, Sporting CP experienced a crisis in results that generated discontent from the player, a situation that sparked rumors about his possible departure from the club.

However, the lions dismissed Joao Pereira, the successor of the now Manchester United coach, and hired Rui Borges to turn their fortunes around. For that reason, it seems difficult for the Lisbon club to part with their star player in the middle of the season, although anything is possible given the financial power of the Premier League.

If this operation materializes, FC Barcelona could see its planning for the next season affected, as the Nordic player is one of the favorites of the sports management to take over from Robert Lewandowski in the center of the attack. However, from England, the options for the Catalans are seriously threatened, as besides Arsenal, Chelsea and the 'red devils' are also very interested in the player. The saga continues.
