Cesc Fabregas Endorses £58m Man Utd Target as Arsenal’s Potential Transfer Option

Cesc Fabregas believes Arsenal should prioritize acquiring a high-quality striker and suggests Viktor Gyokeres as a suitable option for the club in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Cesc Fabregas has called on Arsenal to prioritize transfer signing of a top-tier striker this summer—and he believes Viktor Gyokeres fits the bill perfectly. The former Gunners midfielder joined the growing chorus of voices urging Arsenal to reinforce their attack, especially after injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz left gaps in the frontline.

Fabregas pointed to Gyokeres’ prolific form at Sporting Lisbon, where the Swedish forward has scored an astonishing 87 goals in 94 appearances. With Manchester United also circling, Fabregas urged Arsenal to act fast. “He could be an option, 100 per cent,” he told Amazon Prime, backing Gyokeres as the clinical finisher Arsenal needs.

Arsenal’s Transfer Plans Under Berta

Andrea Berta, Arsenal’s newly appointed sporting director, reportedly admires Gyokeres and is actively exploring options to strengthen the squad. While names like Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko remain on the radar, Gyokeres’ goal-scoring record and realistic price tag make him a standout candidate.

Meanwhile, reports suggest Gyokeres favors a move to Arsenal over United, adding momentum to the potential deal. With a release clause of around £63.5 million, the Gunners could make a decisive move soon.

As Arsenal prepares for the summer window, fans and analysts alike are watching closely. Fabregas’ endorsement has added weight to the speculation, and the club’s need for a reliable striker remains urgent.

Ultimately, whether Arsenal formalizes a bid or shifts focus to other targets, the Cesc Fabregas Viktor Gyokeres Arsenal transfer conversation has already ignited excitement across the fanbase.
