Viktor Gyokeres next club odds: Arsenal transfer one to watch

Ladbrokes has released odds on Viktor Gyokeres' next club, with a move for the Swedish striker to Arsenal one to watch for the summer.

Mikel Arteta's side have done well for the majority of the season without a recognised striker, managing to reach the Champions League semi-finals with Mikel Merino as their number nine.

However, in their pursuit of a first Premier League title in over 20 years, Arsenal are most definitely going to look to sign a striker this summer, and Ladbrokes' latest odds suggest Gyokeres could be the man they go for.

Arsenal have been linked to Gyokeres for quite a few months now, so it's not a surprise to see the bookies tipping the Gunners as the odds-onfavourites to sign the Swede if he does leave Sporting Lisbon this summer.

Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: “Arsenal have looked in need of a striker since January, and with them at the head of the betting for three of the summer’s most coveted marksmen, it appears a centre-forward is top of their shopping list.”

Man United are also in the running to sign Gyokeres, again not surprising considering manager Ruben Amorim's relationship with the player, but a move for the Red Devils to sign Matheus Cunha seems more advanced at this stage.

Chelsea also look to be in the mix for the player, having tried for Victor Osimhen last year. It seems that the Blues are after a striker, but Arsenal and Man United appear to be ahead of them in the queue.

In terms of teams that Gyokeres is suited most too, Atletico Madrid probably comes to mind, but the bookies have priced a move for the Swede to Diego Simeone's side at 10/1.

Priced shorter than the La Liga team share when it comes to Gyokeres' next destination are Liverpool, but it seems like the Reds are prioritising other positions this summer after winning the Premier League in Arne Slot's first season.

Liverpool are the favourites to sign Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, so the bookies seem to think that strengthening the backline is more likely for the Reds than adding firepower to their attack.

Gyokeres is a top striker potentially joining the Premier League, but one who could be on his way out of England's top-flight is Jamie Vardy.

Vardy is set to leave Leicester at the end of the season, and the bookies are favouring any club in the MLS as the most likely destination for the Premier League legend.

Even if the Sporting Lisbon man moves this year, there's a chance he isn't the most expensive Swedish striker joining a Premier League club, with Liverpool viewed as the favourites to sign Alexander Isak, with Gyokeres' compatriot's asking price at £150m.
