Arsenal Nears €65M Deal for Sporting's Gyokeres, Signs Zubimendi

News summary

Arsenal are closing in on a major summer signing with Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, having agreed personal terms on a five-year deal and submitting an improved offer of €65 million plus €15 million in bonuses. Gyokeres has reportedly waived €2 million of his salary to facilitate the transfer, which has been a priority for manager Mikel Arteta, who sees him as the club's marquee signing. Alongside this, Arsenal have completed the signing of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad on a five-year contract for around £55 million. The club is also in advanced talks for additional wide players, including Chelsea's Noni Madueke and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, although the feasibility of signing both remains uncertain. Arsenal have been active in the transfer market, having already secured goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and preparing to finalize the transfer of Christian Norgaard from Brentford. These moves aim to bolster the squad after finishing second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, as they target a title challenge next season.
