The Gunners had initially planned to sign Benjamin Sesko, but those plans changed when the Slovenia striker surprisingly decided to sign a new contract and stay with RB Leipzig.
Arsenal then moved their attention towards Napoli striker Osimhen but they have been scared off by his €120 million release clause and asking price.
Therefore, Arsenal have returned to Gyokeres, who himself has a €100m release clause in his Sporting Lisbon contract.
Arsenal have no intention to pay such a huge amount but they will try to negotiate a much smaller fee.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes that Gyokeres can bring the team the goals they have missed from the number nine position in the last two seasons.
Gyokeres scored a sensational 43 goals in 50 games in all competitions for Portuguese champions Sporting this past season.
His 29 league goals means he finished the season as Primeira Liga top scorer.
