Recently, the London team has been considering options to strengthen their attack and now they are focusing on Gyokeres.
Arsenal feel they are "closer to the finish line" as they move closer to agreeing a deal for the Sporting Lisbon striker, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
Gyokeres himself tried to flee Sporting this summer, when it emerged that an agreement between him and the club to leave for a reduced fee had not been fulfilled.
Sporting president Federico Varandas has said the club are willing to let Gyokeres leave for less than his £80m release clause.
However, they will not accept the low price of about 58 million pounds as the representative of the Swedish striker requested.
Arsenal are currently negotiating a final fee with Sporting Lisbon, which is believed to be between £65m and £68m, including add-ons.
If the deal is approved, Gyokeres would be an extremely high-quality addition to the Gunners' attack.
Last season, Arsenal lacked a striker with good finishing and timing skills. Gyokeres was expected to shine at the Emirates Stadium, after a disappointing spell at Brighton in his youth.
