Arsenal are intrested in Sporting Lisbon’s striker Viktor Gyokeres. The gunners need a specialised striker. Their search has brought them to Portugal. However, Arsenal are also monitoring Ivan Toney’s situation. They can also sign the Brentford striker. Arsenal want to strengthen their attack in winter.
