Video: Arsenal’s main striker target nets stunning 4-goal haul

Viktor Gyökeres sent a clear message to Arsenal with a stunning four-goal performance on Sunday night – and it’s easy to see why he’s the Gunners’ number one striker target this summer.

The Sporting CP star delivered a masterclass in finishing, scoring four goals in different styles to underline just how much he could add to Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Each goal Gyökeres scored showed a different side to his game.

The varied nature of his goals is exactly why Arsenal should prioritise getting this deal done early. Gyökeres can hold the ball up, run in behind, dominate duels, and score from range – qualities that could transform the Gunners’ attacking options next season. With Gabriel Jesus injured until the end of the calander year and Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino more alternative solutions, this Arsenal squad would benefit greatly from a certified striker.

Given the level of interest he’s likely to attract after such a sensational showing, Arsenal would be wise to move quickly and secure his signature early in the summer transfer window. Allowing him a full pre-season under Arteta’s guidance could be key to unlocking even more from this dynamic forward.

Gyökeres’ performances have already drawn interest across Europe, with clubs like Chelsea and AC Milan reportedly monitoring his situation. Arsenal must act decisively to avoid a drawn out process.

Alongside Benjamin Šeško, Gyökeres has emerged as one of Arsenal’s two main striker targets for the summer, as alternatives like Isak and Osimhen move out of the frame.

After Sunday night, it’s clear: Viktor Gyökeres is a signing Arsenal must not miss.
