Should a move to the Emirates, she would end a long -term saga that extends beyond the current transmission window.
Arsenal was first associated with Gyokoker last summer, with reports on their interest continued over the course of last season.
Talk sports reported in June that the Swedish striker decided to accompany Mikel Areteta’s team this summer and to choose them from other potential Premier League applicants Manchester United.
And while the Gunners are finally transforming into a concrete deal, their slow approach has raised some eyebrows.
Not least from the former striker of the Premier League Troy Deeney, who believes that Arsenal’s business processing is not convinced with the value of Gyokeres’ value.
The Watford legend said about the potential step: “I don’t think they are not sold to Gyokoker.
Deeney explained his view and contrasted Arsenal persecution of Gyokoker with Liverpool’s fast fire by Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a British record of 116.5 million GBP.
He continued: “Because they just go and get him, do it [if Arsenal were really keen].
“Just like Liverpool with Wirtz, [they] I just left: ‘Bang, go and get him, get it ready.
“I think you are concerned that he is not only the short -term answer, but not just the long -term answer.”

The upcoming arrival of Gyokoker from Portugal would finally land Arsenal the No. 9 that has been signed for a long time, with Areteta took over a center forward since the Emirates took over in December 2019.
Gabriel Jesus was mainly used as a wing player in Manchester City before he was commissioned to the leading Arsenal line in 2022.
In the meantime, Kai Havertz was originally brought as an attacking midfielder before he cemented herself as her captain.
The signing of Gyokoker, who scored astonishing 54 goals in 52 games last season, would certainly appeal to the lack of attack fire performance by the Gunners.
Nevertheless, Deeney believes that Areta is not ready to complete the deal because the fans are confirmed if Gyokoker arsenal would fire into the Premier League Glory.
The 37-year-old said: “This is my opinion-I think [to sign a striker].

“If he does it and then wins [the Premier League]It will be like this: “Oh, we told you that”.
“It won’t be his thing. There is a small element of stubbornness and [a feeling of]: “We could do it on our way”. “
He added: “I find it interesting that we see more talking to Madueke – it looks like it is closer to being done than the strikers.”
When asked whether Gyokeres’ arrival the Gunners would go to the league glory next season, Deeney replied: “I think that they will be better as a squad.
“I’m not sure if you can still get over the line.”
While Deeney is not convinced by Arsenal’s pursuit of Gyokoker, a person who would welcome his arrival are the club-like Martin Keown, who has emphasized his all-round skill as exactly what the Gunners need.

The 27-year-old’s Torecoring Exploits contributed for the first time in 73 years to sport on two Primera league titles.
Keown discussed the potential transfer to White and Jordan from Talksport and said: “There is not much wrong with the squad, but they had to add certain positions.
“Because of the injuries they had, we shouted forward to a center.
“This guy is rocky – you can play the ball in him. He holds it well. He has pace, power. And I think he is pretty emphatic in front of the goal.
“And that’s exactly what Arsenal needs. He only has to speak on the field.”
