Gyokeres Pushes Arsenal Move Amid Sporting Standoff

Arsenal's move for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres has intensified, with the player reportedly threatening to go on strike after Sporting allegedly broke a gentleman’s agreement over a £60 million exit price. Sporting are now demanding up to £69 million but are open to structured deals with add-ons, giving Arsenal and Manchester United renewed hope of completing a transfer. Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Gyokeres on a five-year contract, but negotiations with Sporting are ongoing as Mikel Arteta aims to secure a new striker before the pre-season tour in mid-July. Sporting have begun preparing for his departure by targeting Victor Guzman. Concerns remain about Gyokeres' ability to adapt to the Premier League, with comparisons to Rasmus Hojlund's mixed record at Manchester United. Gyokeres has reportedly rejected lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia to prioritize a move to the Premier League.
