Arsenal Shorten to 6/5 to Sign Gyökeres After Transfer Talks Progress
Arsenal are emerging as clear front-runners in the race to sign Viktor Gyökeres, with bet365 pricing the Gunners at 6/5 amid strong reports from Portugal suggesting that a deal is already moving.
According to Correio da Manhã, personal terms have been agreed in principle, and Mikel Arteta’s side are now preparing a formal €75 million bid to bring the Swedish striker to north London this summer.
The former Coventry City forward has been a standout performer for Sporting CP, scoring 52 goals in all competitions this season and drawing interest from multiple European giants.
UK Betting Sites put Arsenal as the strong favourites to sign Gyökeres this summer with no real competitor up against them in the betting market.
| Viktor Gyökeres Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 6/5 | 45.5% |
| Stay at Sporting | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Man Utd | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| PSG | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Atletico Madrid | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Liverpool | 10/1 | 9.1% |
What the expert says...
Arsenal Lead the Pack, But Other Suitors Lurking
Mikel Arteta has made no secret of his desire to bring in a clinical centre-forward, and Gyökeres fits the profile: athletic, prolific, and pressing-focused.
While Arsenal are firmly in pole position, Manchester United, PSG, and Atletico Madrid remain listed, each likely monitoring the situation closely should Sporting’s valuation or the Gunners’ bid hit complications.
Liverpool round out the betting at 10/1 and with Darwin Nunez expected to leave in the summer could be in the market for a striker.
