Arsenal to scout Champions League striker with 13 goals already this season
Arsenal could well look to delve into the transfer market when the window reopens in January.
🦩The Gunners made a number of strong signings in the summer, helping them start the season well.
However, despite being linked with a striker throughout the summer, Arsenal did not bring in a new centre-forward.
🌱Though this hasn’t affected them, with Kai Havertz in outstanding form, there’s certainly scope for Mikel Arteta and Edu to bolster their attacking ranks.
꧂Now, according to , Arsenal will be sending scouts to watch an “unbelievable” No. 9 who has 13 goals from 13 games this term.

Arsenal set to scout Viktor Gyokeres against Manchester City
The player in question is Viktor Gyokeres🎀, who has gone from strength to strength since joining Sporting Lisbon in 2023.
ꦜGyokeres registered a staggering 43 goals and 15 assists from 50 club games last season, and this term he has 13 goals and four assists already.
⛦Sporting are set to host Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday 5 November.
🍃According to GiveMeSport, scouts from Arsenal and other leading clubs across Europe have pinpointed this game an ideal opportunity to run the rule over Gyokeres.
𒉰As per , the 26-year-old has a €100million (£83.3million) release clause.

Arsenal target Gyokeres has ‘everything in his locker’
🐽Back in 2022, Coventry City manager Mark Robins told the about Gyokeres: “He is what you see.
ꦦ“He’s not the finished article by any stretch of the imagination but he has some unbelievable ability – power, technique.
🃏“He has got everything in his locker and that desire and hunger to score goals. And he’s also got a really angry side as well, which he has got to calm a little bit because if it’s not going his way he can get angry with himself and you see it from time to time.”
🌳Two years on, and Gyokeres is certainly a lot closer to the finished article than when he was at Coventry, hence links with the likes of Arsenal.
🌼Gyokeres’ goal and assist stats show he is ready for a big move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs, and the Gunners will certainly fancy their chances.
