In the last week alone, a fair few names have been named by sections of the media as possible striker targets for Arsenal as we approach 2025.
Arsenal have their eye on Sporting Lisbon sensation Viktor Gyokeres, according to some reports, with GiveMeSport writing that Gunners scouts are set to run the rule over him on November 5 when Sporting take on Man City in the Champions League.
The Sweden international apparently has an admirer in Arteta, amidst his exceptional start to 2024/2025, where he’s picked up right where he left off from last season. Gyokeres boasts 13 goals in 13 appearances this term, following his phenomenal return of 43 goals and 15 assists last season.
Meanwhile, it is also believed Arsenal are ready to battle Barcelona for Jhon Duran. The Colombia international has enjoyed his own exceptional return so far this campaign, resulting in Aston Villa handing him a new contract, which has bumped his value up to around £75 million.
RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko remains a target for Arsenal as well, following their failed attempt to land him in the summer window. The north Londoners, according to some media sources, have already made contact over Sesko ahead of a possible swoop next year (CaughtOffside).
