While Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen would be a dream recruit for sporting director Edu, the €120 million to €130m release clause in his contract would make a move hard to pull off.As an alternative option, Arteta has reportedly given the green light for Edu to pursue a deal for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres., Arsenal will sign Gyokeres in a deal worth an initial €90m , with add-ons potentially taking the deal as high as €120m .
The Swedish striker scored 43 goals and assisted a further 15 in 50 matches in 2023-24, convincing Arteta that he is the missing piece of the jigsaw at the Emirates Stadium.Gyokeres' exploits last term were even more remarkable given that Sporting paid just shy of £20m to sign him from Coventry City last summer.
