Viktor Gyokoker is a complete striker who guarantees Arsenal targets in abundance – something that Benjamin Sesko’s goal cannot offer.
This is the view of the European football expert Andy Brassell, who believes that the 26-year-old is looking for every box that Mikel Areta is looking for while he is planning a summer rework.

The Sporting Lisbon striker achieved another breathtaking season in Portugal with 42 goals from so many games and 11 templates.
After the Swedish international came to the club from Coventry in 2023, he found his back of the network 85 times.
His torecoring skills have attracted the attention of a number of top clubs, whereby the new Arsenal sports director Andrea Berta added it to Gunners’ shortlist.
Talk sport understands that Sporting would sell the player for around £ 58.5 million – a significantly cheaper fee than the No. 1 goal of Arsenal, Alexander Isak, who has a value of 150 million GBP from Newcastle.
The outfit in North London is also a admirer of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, who would be open to the link among the Emirates.
Despite the 21-year-old tipping as the future world slower, there are question marks regarding its end product.
And while the ex-Watford striker Troy Deeney does not believe that Gyokoker is a “natural finisher”, Brassell insists that the player is the perfect striker.
In the Transuropa Express show, Brassell said about Gyokoker: “I think [43 goals, 15 assists] And wondered if that was sustainable.
“Then he came out this season how no one has to do this season. Of course, this hat trick against Manchester City in the Champions League is one of the things that really pulled out the carpet under the city this season.
“He was trained very, very well by Ruben Amorim and has continued on the way under Joao Pereira and Rui Borges since then.

“The fact is that he has everything you want in a center forward. He is fast, he is strong, he is big, he is not easy to intimidate, he can do both create and score.”
Brassell added: “Gyokoker has everything you could need, and many people I know who watch the championship pretty closely were surprised to really try to try it [on him].
“And I think Amorim really had to ask the board to buy it, it was a record transfer fee for the sport of € 20 million [£16.7m] And has repaid several times.
“And if you sell it, you will sell it for a conservative estimate of at least three times.
“I think what you already see is Andrea Berta, the new sports director who has joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid.
“I think what is important to have a different opinion and ideas in the room because it was previously assumed that the fit for Arsenal was Benjamin Sesko.

“That he was the guy because he was young because he may fit in the way Arsenal plays.
“But actually Gyokoker has technical skills, a lot of technical skills, but it is more of a ramp treasure and rather a pure goal scorer than sesko.”
Brassell comments on whether Gyokoker could be the signing, the Arsenal for a first title of Premier League has been firing since 2004, and explained: “If we talk about something, the arsenal really lacks.
“Someone who takes responsibility and is a goal scorer of important goals in important games and is not intimidated by the best defenders is a good choice.”
It is expected that it will be a busy summer in the Emirates because Areta tries to shake his front in his mission to get Arsenal back to play freely flowing football.
And Gyokokers could be a number of top -class arrivals that immediately go into the line -up.
David Raya is expected to keep his starting place between the sticks – despite rumors that combine Arsenal with his Spanish compatriot Joan Garcia.
Jurrien Timber and Ben White will probably fight for a right-back, with Myles Lewis-Skelly Riccardo Calafiori on the other side of the defense and William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes nod to continue their central defense partnership.
After Thomas Party and Jorginho were to leave as free agents, the Real Sociedads Martin Zubimendi was identified as Arsenals Next No. 6 in a deal of 51 million GBP.
On the arrival of the Euro 2024 winner, Skipper Martin Odegaard and Club record obligation, Declan Rice, would be obliged to continue to be used in their box-to-box roles.
The graduate of Hale End, Bukayo Saka, will surely start with the right wing via Ethan Nwaneri, with Nico Williams may occur on the opposite flank if an agreement with a sporty bilbao should be achieved.
And should Arsenal Secure Gyokokers’ Signature be, he would have the task of leading the line over injured stars Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
