Arsenal might delay signing a striker like Viktor Gyokeres this summer if a better option emerges for manager Mikel Arteta.
Gyokeres, who has already played against Arsenal this season, is considered one of the top candidates to strengthen the team’s attack. However, transfer market deals are rarely straightforward, and Arsenal’s final decision will depend on whether the investment makes strategic sense.
The club had aimed to recruit a striker in 2024 but opted against signing Benjamin Sesko due to several factors, including financial constraints. These eased somewhat later when Eddie Nketiah was sold to Crystal Palace for £30 million including add-ons.
Even a top-tier option like Alexander Isak, despite his quality and potential to justify a price over £120 million, brings concerns—mainly his history of injuries, which could limit his availability.
Given the uncertainties around Gyokeres and Sesko, Arsenal may revisit previous transfer targets as temporary solutions, holding out for a more reliable long-term signing later
