Report: Arsenal’s top striker target wants Emirates move — impressed by Arteta’s project

Arsenal target Viktor Gyökeres is reportedly open to joining the club this summer.
 

David Ornstein of The Athletic first reported on Arsenal's growing interest in the Sweden international on Monday.

The club's new sporting director, Andrea Berta — whose arrival was confirmed last Sunday — is understood to be a huge admirer of the player and is believed to be the driving force behind a potential deal, as also reported by Arsenal journalist Charles Watts.

Now, talkSPORT's Chief Football Correspondent Alex Crook reports that Gyökeres is open to a summer move to the Emirates. The 26-year-old is said to be impressed by Mikel Arteta's project in North London.

Arsenal are also expected to open formal talks with Sporting Lisbon over a deal for Gyökeres in the near future.
