Viktor Gyokeres Next Club Odds: Arsenal Interested In Swede

Viktor Gyokeres could be on the move this summer, with the best betting sites regularly updating the odds on where he might end up.

After joining Sporting CP from Coventry City 12 months ago, Gyokeres went on to have a fantastic debut campaign in Portugal. 

The striker scored 43 goals in 50 appearances as his side won the title and he is now the subject of interest from some of Europe’s top clubs. 

After opening his account for the new campaign in Sporting's 3-1 home win over Rio Ave on Friday night, what does the future hold for Gyokeres? 

Let’s dig into the latest odds, before analysing where the Sweden international is likely to be playing his football after the summer transfer window shuts at 11pm on Friday, August 30.

Viktor Gyokeres - Club After Summer Transfer Window

Sporting CP Keen To Retain Striker

Needless to say, Sporting CP would love to keep hold of Gyokeres. Few expected the centre-forward to do as well as he did last term.

Sporting are preparing for a campaign that includes the Champions League and it would benefit the Portuguese club to keep hold of their leading scorer. 

The Sweden international is 1/2 to remain with the Portuguese champions, but every player has his price and Portuguese clubs are usually willing to sell for the right fee.

Arsenal Plotting Bid For Gyokeres

If Gyokeres does indeed seek pastures new, Arsenal are at the front of the queue to sign him.

Football betting sites are offering odds of 7/2 on him ending up at the Emirates Stadium before deadline day comes and goes.

The Gunners are on the lookout for an out-and-out striker to lead the line after Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus were used there last season. 

Arsenal, who finished two points behind champions Manchester City, appear to have made Gyokeres a target, but there is still work to be done in getting a deal over the line.

Liverpool Could Still Enter Race

It's a big season for Darwin Nunez who many believe is playing for his future. 

After an improved but still frustrating second season at Anfield, the Uruguay international could be discarded if he does not deliver the goods this season. 

Gyokeres could be brought in as an early replacement, with Liverpool’s chances rated at 10/1 with Bet365. 

However, reports last month suggested Arne Slot’s side were not going to make a bid for the former Brighton man.

Chelsea Still Have Summer Work To Do 

Chelsea have brought in 11 players this summer for £230m, but there could still be more business to be done at Stamford Bridge. 

It is vital that the Blues find a way to reduce their reliance on Cole Palmer, whose goals helped Chelsea finish last season in sixth place. 

Gyokeres, who scored 21 goals for Coventry in the 2022/23 season, would shoulder some of the goalscoring burden, but Chelsea are outsiders as things stand. 

You can find odds of 16/1 on the Blues winning the race for the Swede’s signature.

PSG Beginning Life After Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain are getting ready for their first season without Kylian Mbappe, whose move to Real Madrid was confirmed just after Euro 2024. 

Others will have to step up now that the club’s all-time leading scorer has moved on, but PSG are yet to sign an attacker this summer.

That is likely to change before the market closes for business, could Gyokeres be on their radar? With odds of 12/1 on betting apps, there is a chance he could move to the French capital.

There is not much evidence of that at the time of writing, but PSG would have little trouble affording Sporting’s asking price.

Manchester City Among Outsiders

Manchester City have sold Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid for £82m, so the Premier League champions might be looking for a replacement for the Argentine. 

Gyokores is a potential contender to come in, but odds of 20/1 suggest City are looking elsewhere.

It is hard to envisage a striker like Gyokores joining City for as long as Erling Haaland is at the club. 

Pep Guardiola may prefer an attacking midfielder to replace Alvarez rather than a genuine centre-forward.

Manchester United Not In The Conversation

Manchester United have already signed Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna this summer and they do not appear to be in the market for another frontman. 

Erik ten Hag will be without Rasmus Hojlund for the first few weeks of the season, but signing a new striker seems unlikely.

Gyokeres is priced at 33/1 to end up at Old Trafford, where the manager is under pressure to deliver an improvement after an eighth-place finish last term.
