Gyokeres update

Arsenal have reportedly been told Viktor Gyokeres is all theirs for £60million.

Our colleagues at report that there is believed to be an agreement for Gyokeres to leave Sporting if a club pays 70m Euros - just over £60m - with the Portuguese giants already earmarking cash for a rebuild next season. The price could go higher if there is a bidding war which puts the pressure on to get a deal done.

Isaac Seelochan of football.london says: "Gyokeres was never going to come cheap, but £60m would represent excellent business. It's not a lot of money in the current market for strikers and could pay off for Arteta's men if they can get a deal done."

Exit fears

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit fears that Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice could decide to look for a new club if William Saliba leaves.

"I’ve been reading things about Arsenal selling William Saliba to Real Madrid. I’m thinking, ‘what the hell?’" he said on .

“You want to bring in strikers, wingers, and then you sell your best defender? What’s the point? It’s a step back if you do that. The first step for Arsenal needs to be to keep their best players.

“If you start selling your best players, starting from Saliba, there’s no way that players like Saka and Rice… they will think, ‘what the hell? What are we doing?'”

Isaac Seelochan of football.london says: "It feels highly unlikely that either player would decide to leave Arsenal based off Saliba potentially going. However, if they continue to go without silverware, it is possible that clubs like Real Madrid and even some of the Gunners' Premier League rivals may become a more attractive proposition as seen before with Robin van Persie."
