Arsenal Football Club is close to finalizing the transfer of Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP. The 27-year-old forward has expressed a strong desire to join Arsenal, having reached a total agreement on personal terms for a five-year contract valid until June 2030. Negotiations between the two clubs have been ongoing, with reported transfer fees initially around €65 million plus bonuses, but discussions extended to approximately €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons. Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta has been actively involved in face-to-face talks in Portugal to conclude the deal. Gyökeres has refused to return to Sporting's pre-season training, indicating his commitment to the move. Despite a temporary stall in negotiations due to valuation differences, both clubs are reportedly nearing a total agreement. Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta is keen to secure the striker to enhance the team’s attacking options following the recent signing of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Arsenal departed for their pre-season tour without Gyökeres, who is expected to fly to England to complete the transfer. The deal is seen as a major acquisition for Arsenal, aiming to add unpredictability and goal-scoring prowess to their squad.
