Arsenal to make an improved offer for target after their opening offer was rejected: Reports
Arsenal are reportedly set to make a second bid for Viktor Gyokeres after seeing their opening offer rejected by Sporting CP. As reported by O Jogo, the Portuguese champions turned down an offer worth €55 million plus add-ons for the Sweden international.
Mikel Arteta's side have been linked with a host of strikers in recent weeks and Benjamin Sesko seemed to be their priority target. However, the Gunners have reportedly withdrawn their interest from the Slovenia international.
The north London giants have now reportedly turned their attention to Gyokeres. However, Sporting CP reportedly want much more for their star striker than Arsenal's opening offer of €55 million.
Gyokeres has been prolific for Sporting CP since joining the Portuguese side in 2023 from Coventry City. The 27-year-old has scored 97 goals and provided 28 assists in 102 appearances for the Leoes till date.
The Swedish attacker has reportedly told Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas that he wouldn't play for them next season. However, the Portuguese champions are ready to play hardball with the striker also attracting interest from Manchester United.
