BREAKING: Arsenal to submit improved €70m bid for Viktor Gyökeres — striker has reportedly turned down Man Utd

Arsenal are reportedly preparing a second offer worth €70m in total for Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres.
 

The search for a new striker continues for Mikel Arteta's side, with growing reports suggesting that Arsenal are seriously pursuing a deal to sign the Swedish forward.

RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško has been heavily linked with a potential summer move to the Emirates, but speculation surrounding the Slovenia international has cooled in recent days.

According to the latest reports from Portugal, the Gunners are now in concrete talks over signing 27-year-old Sweden international Viktor Gyökeres.

An initial bid was reportedly submitted but fell short of Sporting CP's valuation for their star striker.

Now, CNN Portugal reports that Arsenal are set to table a second, improved offer worth around €70m in total.

The Portuguese giants are said to be open to renewed negotiations, and there is optimism among all parties that an agreement could be reached sooner rather than later.
