Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has dismissed speculation linking his side with a move for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, insisting that the club's current focus is on achieving their on-field objectives.
When quizzed about potential transfer activity, Arteta emphasized the strength of Arsenal's existing squad and their commitment to the ongoing season. "Transfers are not a discussion for now," he stated. "We have a competitive squad, and all our attention is on achieving our goals this season."
Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim echoed Arteta's sentiments, expressing confidence in Gyökeres' commitment to the Portuguese club. "We are aware of the interest from other clubs, but Viktor is happy here and fully dedicated to our project," Amorim said.
With Arsenal set to face Sporting CP in a crucial Europa League clash, the transfer rumors surrounding Gyökeres have taken a backseat. For now, both clubs are concentrating on the upcoming match and the challenges it presents.
