With all of that being said, football.london has taken a look at the latest Arsenal transfer rumours.
Gyokeres latest
Comments from two Sporting CP players look to have hinted that Gyokeres will depart the club this summer.
When asked if the squad have urged him to stay, Pedro Goncalves said: “I did and so did the whole squad. He says he’s not a fortune teller.
“We still have the Portuguese Cup against Benfica to play. I have a very good relationship with him, but I don’t talk about it with him.”
Goncalves has made a point of remaining detached from the speculation surrounding Gyokeres, stating: “What I know is because of Fabrizio Romano… I’m sticking with him. I don’t know if he’s going to leave.”
Francisco Trincao later joked that in order to keep him at the club he will, “try to lock Gyokeres in the gym”.
football.london says: Gyokeres appears destined to leave Sporting and Arsenal have to make sure he is the club they join.
Interest outside of England is not exactly prominent and therefore if he does move elsewhere, it almost definitely strengthens a direct Premier League rival.
Arsenal first need to decide on the striker they wish to sign with Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak also of interest. Arteta and Berta do not appear to be aligned on that just yet and considering the importance of the addition in that section of the pitch, Arsenal have to get it right.
Huge Rodrygo update
Arsenal could soon be in pole position for the signature of Rodrygo with a transfer being seriously considered within north London, according to Sky Sports Germany.
The Brazilian is one potential exit candidate for Madrid this summer, though it is claimed they would demand up to £84million.
