The Bees are asking for a substantial sum before allowing their key player to leave, making a move to Arsenal for the England international unlikely. Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, another player on Arteta’s radar, is also expected to come with a high price tag due to his successful season in Portugal. Being a recent addition to Sporting, the club may not be willing to sell him for a low price in the near future.

Brighton, known for commanding high transfer fees, may prove to be a challenge if Arsenal seeks to acquire Gyokeres. However, Arsenal’s focus seems to be shifting towards signing a winger to enhance their attacking options. Possible departures from the team could generate funds for new signings, but for now, Arteta’s main focus remains on the upcoming matches.
