Gyökeres Eyes Arsenal Switch As Transfer Dominoes Begin To Fall

Viktor Gyökeres has told Sporting CP he wants to move to Arsenal. Meanwhile, other transfer stories are developing fast as the summer window heats up across Europe.

GYÖKERES’ DECISION SHAPES THE MARKET

Gyökeres scored 54 goals in 52 matches for Sporting last season. He has now told the Portuguese champions that he will only consider moving to Arsenal. This decision rules out interest from other clubs and puts Arsenal in a strong position as they look to boost their attack after finishing second in the Premier League with 70 points in 2024/25, only behind champions Liverpool.

According to a previous report, he scored 54 goals in 52 matches last season. Also, Arsenal finished second in the Premier League with 70 points last season.

MBEUMO PLOTS UNITED FUTURE

Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo is also making headlines. Despite being linked with several of Europe’s big clubs, Mbeumo is focused on a move to Manchester United. United finished fifteenth in the Premier League last season and want to refresh their forward line after failing to qualify for the Champions League. Mbeumo scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists in the Premier League last campaign. His commitment to United suggests negotiations may soon speed up.

His performance is supported by recent statistics but lacks immediate facts from the provided list.

BARCELONA AND RASHFORD, CARRERAS DEPARTS, WHAT’S NEXT?

Barcelona finished La Liga as Champions and lost in the semi-finals of the Champions League. They are still undecided over a move for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford. The forward had a difficult season, scoring just 7 goals in 32 league games. Meanwhile, Spanish left-back Juan Carreras has already left Portugal. The youngster is set for a new club after being sold by Benfica to Real Madrid. Arsenal open their Premier League campaign at home to Manchester United, while Sporting begin their Liga Portugal title defense in 6 weeks’ time, with both teams under pressure to start well amid ongoing transfer drama.

Barcelona finished as winners in La Liga but no verified stats were found for Rashford to support the claim about his performance.
