Fabrizio Romano reports that Victor Gyökeres has firmly expressed his preference — Arsenal remains his top target despite external interest, including from Manchester United.
🧨 Key Points:
❌ He has no interest in returning to Sporting, either to play or even train.
✅ He demands that Sporting honor their verbal exit agreement, signaling growing tension between player and club.
🧠 Despite keeping Man United as a fallback, Gyökeres’ mind is made up: he wants the Emirates.
🔁 Sesko Still in the Frame:
Arsenal haven’t shut the door on Benjamin Šeško, whose name continues to float around North London. However, Gyökeres has leapfrogged to the top of the wishlist in Mikel Arteta’s striker shortlist.
💰 Sporting are holding out for a €100m+ release clause, but pressure is mounting quickly — especially with the player refusing to resume pre-season activities.
🔥 The saga is intensifying. Arsenal now hold the player’s will, but can they crack Sporting’s resistance?
More to come as this transfer battle heads toward a
breaking point…
