Lewis Skelly Reacts to Fabrizio Romano’s Post Amid Arsenal Gyökeres Pursuit Buzz
Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of completing Viktor Gyökeres pursuit from Sporting CP, and young star Myles Lewis-Skelly has subtly shown his support for the deal. The 18-year-old midfielder, who has become a key figure under Mikel Arteta, liked a social media post by Fabrizio Romano hinting that the transfer is nearing completion.
Though a small gesture, fans have taken it as a sign that Lewis-Skelly is excited about the Swedish striker’s potential arrival. The Hale End graduate recently signed a new long-term contract and is seen as a cornerstone of Arsenal’s future. His quiet approval adds to the growing buzz around the club’s summer business.

Gyökeres, 27, has been in sensational form since joining Sporting from Coventry City in 2023. With 97 goals in 102 games, he’s become one of Europe’s most prolific forwards. His performances have drawn interest from top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich, but Arsenal appear to be leading the race.
Reports suggest the Gunners have agreed personal terms with Gyökeres’ agent, Hasan Çetinkaya, on a five-year deal. Talks with Sporting are ongoing, with a fee of €60–70 million expected—well below his €100 million release clause, thanks to a reported gentleman’s agreement.
Gyökeres is said to be eager to join Arsenal and has already informed those close to him of his intentions. With injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz’s inconsistent role up front, the Sweden could be the reliable No. 9 Arteta has been searching for.
