Arsenal have been struggling for several weeks. After a fantastic start to the season, the Gunners have just had four unsuccessful matches in the Premier League, including two defeats. A little more feverish defensively, Mikel Arteta's men are especially in difficulty on the offensive level.
Gabriel Jesus at the bottom of the hole with only one goal in 15 matches in all competitions. Kai Havertz who is not a real scorer. Arteta does not have a center forward worthy of the name. A gap that the Spanish technician would like to fill during the next winter transfer window.
It is therefore in this context that several avenues are currently being studied. A name has been coming up repeatedly for several weeks: Viktor Gyökeres. Monstrous since his arrival at Sporting CP in July 2023, the Swedish striker continues to impress. Proof of this is that he has already scored 23 goals in 18 games since the start of the season.
There is therefore no need to specify that Gyökeres is panicking the European leaders, some of whom could lift the release clause set at 100 million euros. A path which therefore promises to be complicated for Arsenal, which is studying other profiles in parallel.
If the name of PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani has also been associated with the Gunners, the London club would also have in their sights a player who is making a big start to the season in the Premier League. According to Football Transfers, Arsenal have checked the name of Yoane Wissa. On fire in the colors of Brentford, the former FC Lorient striker has scored 7 goals in 8 PL matches since the start of the season.
An interesting profile on paper because he is already competitive in the Premier League, but which stands out compared to Gyökeres. Older (28 years old), Yoane Wissa is also smaller and has a less foxy surface profile than the Swedish striker. We are therefore on different profiles.
The difference is also in the advertised price. Under contract until 2026 at Brentford, Wissa could be available for around 40 million euros, and above all less greedy in terms of salary.
