Arsenal fans want Stan Kroenke to loosen the purse strings(Image: AFP via Getty Images)

Arsenal supporters have begged owner Stan Kroenke to splash the cash on a world-class striker after watching Liverpool win the Premier League title.

The Gunners look set to be runners-up for the third straight season and fans believe action in the summer transfer window could take them to the next level.

With their side not playing, Arsenal fans had a lot of thinking time over the weekend and events elsewhere have conspired to further their demands.



Liverpool secured the Premier League title with a 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield, which was always coming but still hurt for Arsenal, who have not lifted the trophy since the famous Invincibles did so in 2003/04.

Meanwhile, on the same day, their heads were turned by Viktor Gyokeres scoring four goals in Sporting Lisbon’s 5-0 win over Boavista.

Gyokeres’ goalscoring record now almost doesn’t look real, reading 52 goals and 12 assists in 48 matches across all competitions.

The Swedish striker has been strongly linked with a move away from Sporting this summer – and Arsenal fans are desperate for them to join the race for his signature.

After Liverpool thrashed Spurs, a tweet from an Arsenal fan went viral.

“We MUST sign Gyokeres or else this project is done.”

Another pleaded with the club: “@Arsenal please go and sign Viktor Gyokeres this summer!!” A third added: “Viktor Gyokeres Scored FOUR goals for Sporting tonight, that's 51 goals for club and country this season.

The opinion that Arsenal have lacked a prolific goalscorer has haunted them over the past few years of chasing the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta’s management.
