Arsenal On The Verge Of Signing Viktor Gyokeres

Arsenal are set to sign striker Viktor Gyokeres as his agent turns away from Man Utd, according to reports.

The Gunners have already completed four new signings so far this summer with Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and Noni Madueke all joining.

A deal worth £54.8 million plus £8.6 million of future bonuses has already been struck in principle. The issue remained over the nature and achievability of those contingency payments, which caused a delay in the proposed move being finalised.

Gyokeres has emerged as one of the leading forwards in Europe following his form at Sporting. He scored 43 goals across all competitions following his switch from Coventry City in the summer of 2023.

And the Swede bagged an impressive 54 goals last season. Once Gyokeres’ transfer to Arsenal is complete, he will be the club’s fifth signing of the summer following the acquisitions of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke.

But talks are now at an ‘advanced stage’ and a conclusion is imminent.
