ARSENAL CLOSE IN ON SIGNING VIKTOR GYOKERES FROM SPORTING LISBON

Arsenal are now in advanced negotiations with Sporting as they look to finalise a deal for striker Viktor Gyokeres, with the Gunners confident that they are close to securing the Swedish forward, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
The 27-year-old attacker, who has been on the radar of the Gunners all summer, scored 54 goals in 52 appearances for Sporting in all competitions in the 2024/25 season.
His finishing quality and his ability to lead the attack has impressed the Gunners who are looking for a new striker to lead their attack next season. As per Tavolieri, Arsenal have already agreed on a five-year contract with Gyokeres after making breakthrough in the deal to sign the attacker.
The Gunners are now working with Sporting to finalise the financial details of the deal, with discussions centring on the structure of the fee and potential add-ons as they look to find an agreement.
Arsenal’s push for Gyokeres comes as their interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko cools, with the Slovenian forward moving away from the Gunners’ plans.
