Arsenal is stepping up its interest in Viktor Gyokeres, according to a report from Portugal.

The Gunners are looking to bolster their attack after missing out on their number one target, Benjamin Sesko, who has decided not to change clubs this summer.

Mikel Arteta’s side is now keen on signing another striker, and Gyokeres has emerged as their latest preferred target.

They have followed the Swede for a long time, and he impressed them by scoring 29 goals and providing ten assists in 33 league games last term.

It was his first season at Sporting Club, yet he delivered impressive numbers, which the Gunners believe he can replicate in their team.

Oh dear Scotland… and to think things started so well when a penis was seen before the tournament had even started. Today, Pete, Luke and Vish are here to sympathise with the Scottish fans, despite a pretty woeful performance of the players on the pitch. Positive Peter is still giving the Scots one more chance, however. 

Elsewhere, the lads ponder how good Germany actually are and Luke and Vish honour some excellent dad behaviour from Ian Maatsen’s father.

Benjamin Sesko is currently receiving significant attention from numerous clubs, including Arsenal, who have extended an offer for his services.

The Slovenian striker has made a name for himself as one of the top young talents in football and has been in excellent form for RB Leipzig.

Leipzig is keen on retaining Sesko, recognising their good fortune in having him within their ranks and is determined to keep him beyond this summer.

Arsenal, in need of a new goalscorer, views Sesko as an ideal fit for their team.

However, they face stiff competition as many other clubs are also eager to secure Sesko’s signature, making the battle for his services highly competitive.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is one of several players who have been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent months.

The Gunners first wanted to sign him after Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League.

The midfielder has been one of their most successful academy graduates in recent times, and he stayed with them through the Championship spell.

His contributions to their success are one of the reasons they earned instant promotion to the English top flight.

Arsenal continues to show interest in his signature, with Chelsea also now in the running.

He said, as quoted by The Sun:

The midfielder told Sky Sport:

Declan Rice has admitted he is hurt by England’s 1-0 loss to Iceland ahead of Euro 2024.

The Three Lions, considered one of the favourites to win the competition, were expected to secure a straightforward victory against Iceland following Gareth Southgate’s announcement of his final squad for the tournament.

However, England struggled to break down Iceland, who clinched the game with an early goal, leaving both the players and fans disappointed.

Rice, a key player for England expressed his disappointment over the loss, acknowledging the pain it caused him.

England’s defeat is not good for their confidence ahead of their opening match in the tournament, and Rice said, as quoted by 90mins:

Arsenal is poised to offload at least one homegrown player in this transfer window as Mikel Arteta continues to refine his squad.

The Gunners have made significant investments to secure several top talents in recent transfer windows.

Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, who has been excelling as the club’s manager, Arsenal is receiving ample support to sustain their progress.

This summer, Arsenal must sell players to generate funds for potential acquisitions, which may come at inflated costs given the club’s status as one of England’s top teams.

Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson, and Eddie Nketiah are three homegrown talents who have struggled to secure consistent playing time as the team evolves.

Alan Hutton has discussed the future of Kieran Tierney after his return to Arsenal from his loan spell at Real Sociedad.

Tierney is now seeking a new destination as he is no longer in Arsenal’s plans at the Emirates.

The left-back was regarded as one of the best in the Premier League three seasons ago, but over the last two campaigns, he has struggled to maintain his form.

While at Sociedad, Tierney performed decently, though injuries limited his playing time, likely contributing to the Spanish club’s decision not to pursue a permanent deal.

Now, Tierney is determined to secure a new club, but there are currently no takers for his signature.
