Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly interested in Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, but securing a deal may not be straightforward.
The Sweden international has impressed since joining Sporting from Coventry City, with Chelsea said to be leading the race for his signature, while Arsenal is also considered a contender for the summer. However, Sporting are looking to extend Gyokeres' contract with a potentially higher release clause.
Both Premier League clubs have a need for attacking reinforcements, especially as Arsenal faces challenges in their title bid, and Chelsea is striving to improve their standing in the Premier League.
Gabriel Jesus's goal-scoring consistency is questioned for the Gunners, and Chelsea's current options might not meet the club's ambitious standards.
If either of the sides are keen to acquire the talented striker in the coming transfer window, they need to significantly raise their funds because a deal will not be cheap.
