Arsenal could land 'dream' second signing after Viktor Gyokeres that would terrify Premier League rivals

It would be a summer window to remember for Arsenal if they can get both deals over the line.

Arsenal have 'a real possibility' of completing a €90 million [£77.3m] deal for their 'dream' transfer target, according to reports, as they close in on the signing of Viktor Gyokeres.

Mikel Arteta could have a new-look forward line when the 2025/26 campaign kicks off, with Gyokeres moving closer to becoming their first big-money deal of the summer following months of speculation.

French publication L'Equipe revealed this week that Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is leading discussions over the transfer of Gyokeres.

In fact, the Sweden international is said to have informed Arsenal that he wants to join them, with his agent Hasan Cetinkaya nearing a verbal agreement.

The arrival of Gyokeres, who has been one of Europe's top-performing strikers across the last term, scoring 52 goals in all competitions, would certainly be a statement of intent from the Gunners.

Amid ongoing talks for the striker, reports have emerged that the Gunners are also chasing Real Madrid's Rodrygo – and they have 'a real possibility' of completing a deal, according to Spanish outlet Cadena SER, as per the Mail.

Arsenal want to sign an elite left winger this summer as they aim to challenge for the Premier League title.

And they view Rodrygo, 24, as a 'perfect fit' for the role, according to transfer expert Ben Jacobs, who says the Brazilian will hold talks with Xabi Alonso about his future once they return from the Club World Cup.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are still unsure if the player is open to leaving the Spanish giants, but Madrid are 'prepared to sanction' an exit for around €90 million [£77.3m].

"Rodrygo viewed as the dream left-winger target, but comfortable at right-wing, a position he's often been deployed at Real," added Jacobs.

Last month, international teammate Gabriel was asked whether he had any inside information on Rodrygo and his future.

"I don’t. No, I don’t, not really," he told the Podpah Podcast. ‘But I’d like it, obviously. Rodrygo is a phenomenon, for me. He’s not at Arsenal… I’ve told people already, he’s a phenomenon. His name is mentioned a lot. If it was up to me, of course."

Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, has played down speculation surrounding Rodrygo's future.

"Rodrygo is a Real Madrid player, and I will speak with everyone who is part of Real Madrid," he said last month. "Rodrygo is a spectacular player and we will need him. He deserves it, and so do we."
