Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães has shared his thoughts on the club’s potential signing of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, as negotiations over a summer transfer continue to progress.
Speaking during a pre-season interview, Gabriel expressed admiration for Gyökeres’ abilities, describing him as “a powerful and intelligent forward who could add something special to our attack.” The Brazilian centre-back also noted the striker’s physicality and goal-scoring instincts, calling him a “nightmare to defend against.”
With talks between Arsenal and Sporting advancing rapidly, Gabriel’s endorsement adds further weight to the growing expectation that Gyökeres will soon be unveiled as a Gunner. The €73.5 million-rated forward is now widely tipped to become Arsenal’s marquee signing of the summer window.
