Barca plot shock move for Viktor Gyökeres

VIA FOX SPORTS:

Barcelona are reportedly exploring a shock move for Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres as the Spanish champions look to replace the departed Ferran Torres.

According to Spanish journalist José Álvarez, developments are expected around Gyökeres in the coming hours, with Barcelona considering the Swedish international as an alternative following Torres’ €50 million move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona’s need for attacking reinforcements has increased following the departure of Torres, who scored 21 goals across all competitions last season before sealing his switch to the French giants.

And Gyökeres would certainly represent a blockbuster replacement.

[…] Barcelona are now reportedly prepared to explore whether a deal for the Arsenal striker could be possible as they reshape their attack following Torres’ departure.

However, there is no suggestion at this stage that an agreement has been reached with Arsenal, with Gyökeres contracted to the Premier League champions until 2030.
