Arsenal is preparing to observe their striker target, Viktor Gyokeres, in a game against Manchester City, after he has established some success. As a result, Manchester City may be subjected to his wrath on two separate occasions.
Erling Haaland, the most in-form striker in the world, was previously acquired by City from Borussia Dortmund. Sporting CP’s Gyokeres is their primary forward target, and they are seeking to repeat this action.
However, they will be in competition with Arsenal for the Swede’s signature.
The Gunners are among the teams that are preparing to conduct additional scouting of Gyokeres, who is already “firmly” on the radar. Their focus is on bolstering the team’s weaponry.
The striker’s match against Manchester City for Sporting on November 5 is considered the “ideal opportunity” for Arsenal and other major clubs to observe him in action against a major club.
Despite the fact that City will undoubtedly have the opportunity to observe him in person, they could be subjected to Gyokeres’ wrath on two separate occasions. This is due to the fact that he has played on multiple teams this season, which would undoubtedly motivate the Gunners to pursue him even more aggressively.
Arsenal’s presence would undoubtedly complicate City’s pursuit of the striker.
In addition to Gyokeres’ 56 goals in 63 games at Sporting, City is interested in him due to the ambiguity surrounding Haaland’s future.
It is widely believed that he is interested in joining Real Madrid at some point, and the La Liga club is currently conducting an extensive recruitment campaign for him.
Consequently, the Sporting Man has been designated as the “priority” for the Citizens.
It is rumored that contact has been established with his retinue, which is managed by City’s director of football, Hugo Viana, who was previously employed by Sporting. However, Arsenal and other prominent clubs may obstruct the move.

It is also evident in other rumors that Arsenal is interested in bolstering its defense.
In fact, they are rumored to be recruiting Ferran Torres, as it is alleged that his Barcelona teammate Raphinha will be beyond his reach.
In the interim, Arda Guler, who can operate in either the attacking midfield or the flank, is being considered by Real Madrid. However, City will have to compete with the Gunners for that player.
Alexander Isak continues to be monitored, as there is speculation that he may attempt to exit Newcastle in 2025.
Juventus is reportedly contemplating the sale of Dusan Vlahovic in order to secure a fee before his contract expires, which could also serve as a simple trap.
