Fabrizio Romano reports that the Gunners have dispatched scouts to closely observe the Sweden international amidst his remarkable season in Portugal. Arsenal appears to be the most keenly interested team, although they are not alone in their pursuit.
Chelsea has also been associated with interest in the 25-year-old, yet any potential bidder must be prepared to meet a significant price. Sporting coach Ruben Amorim stated in January that the Primeira Liga outfit would only consider selling him if his €100 million (£86m/$108m) release clause is activated.
Before joining Sporting last summer, Gyokeres had stints at Brighton and Coventry. Since then, he has been in outstanding form, netting an impressive 31 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions for the Portuguese giants.
Mikel Arteta’s side is likely to monitor the striker closely in the upcoming months and assess whether they are willing to meet Sporting’s demands for his signature. Nonetheless, the Premier League title contenders could face competition from Chelsea and other interested parties.
