Victor Gyokeres to Arsenal, Here We Go!

Arsenal have made a major statement in the transfer market by securing the signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The deal, finalized on July 23, 2025, is reported to be worth around €73.5 million including add-ons, making Gyokeres one of the most expensive signings in the club’s history.

The 27-year-old arrives after a sensational season in Portugal, where he scored 54 goals and provided 13 assists in 52 appearances. His powerful style, relentless pressing, and clinical finishing made him one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards.

Gyokeres is expected to sign a five-year contract and will wear the No. 9 shirt, pending Gabriel Jesus’s number reassignment. He’s already in Singapore to complete his medical and could join Arsenal’s squad during their Asia Tour.

Mikel Arteta has long admired Gyokeres’s mentality and physical attributes. With Arsenal aiming to challenge for both the Premier League and Champions League, the Swede is seen as the missing piece in their attacking puzzle.

Fans are buzzing with excitement, and if his Sporting form translates to England, Gyokeres could quickly become a fan favorite at the Emirates.
