Arsenal Near €70m Deal for Gyokeres Transfer

Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon are close to finalizing the transfer of Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres for a fee exceeding €70 million, including add-ons, following extended negotiations. Gyokeres has agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with Arsenal and is pushing for the move, having refused to attend Sporting’s pre-season training. Sporting president Frederico Varandas has maintained the club’s valuation and threatened disciplinary action against Gyokeres for his absence. Arsenal have already secured signings of Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, with Noni Madueke also set to join. Arsenal view Gyokeres as their top striker target and hope to complete the deal before their pre-season tour to strengthen their title ambitions. An official announcement is expected soon as both clubs finalize the remaining details.
