Viktor Gyökeres nears his Sporting CP exit to Arsenal
The 2025 summer transfer window is still heating up, and the biggest story of early July 2025 is Viktor Gyökeres’ impending exit from Sporting CP. The Swedish striker has been adamant that he wants to leave the Lisbon side in this entire transfer window, and his focus has always been on joining Arsenal.
The North London club has weighed their options during the transfer window, and the best choices were Gyökeres and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško. When Leipzig was not budging with their financial demands, Arsenal closed in on Gyökeres.
Sporting looks set to sell Gyökeres, as they are already looking at Almeria’s Luis Suárez as the new forward. With that interest, it seems like Gyökeres is on his way to North London to compete for the starting striker spot with Kai Havertz and deliver on their potential as a potential Premier League title winner.
