Arsenal Football Club is close to finalizing the transfer of 27-year-old Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP. The player has expressed his desire to join Arsenal exclusively and has reached a total agreement on personal terms for a five-year contract valid until June 2030. Negotiations between the two clubs have been advanced, with Arsenal initially offering a €65 million fee plus bonuses, but Sporting sought a higher guaranteed amount. After prolonged discussions and Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta engaging in face-to-face talks in Portugal, the clubs agreed on a transfer fee of €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons, totaling approximately £73.5 million including variables. The deal also involved Gyökeres' agent agreeing to reduce his commission to facilitate the transfer. Gyökeres has refused to return to Sporting's pre-season training, leading to disciplinary measures from Sporting, including fines and a requirement to apologize to teammates. Arsenal remains confident and relaxed about the situation, focusing on completing the signing ahead of their pre-season tour. Separately, Arsenal is also working on signing Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera, with personal terms agreed and club negotiations in advanced stages. Additionally, Arsenal plans to sell Leandro Trossard for around £20 million to balance finances.
