Arsenal has agreed to a £63.8m deal with Sporting for striker Viktor Gyokeres, who is now heading to London to finalize his contract.

Arsenal are on the verge of signing Viktor Gyokeres, with the Swedish striker expected in London on Friday to finalise his move from Sporting CP. The Gunners have agreed a £63.8 million (€73.5m) deal and plan to integrate him into their pre-season tour in Singapore.

Arsenal are working to land Gyokeres and have a five-year deal prepared, subject to the clubs reaching a compromise.

Sporting CP fans have made clear their thoughts on Viktor Gyökeres’s desire to leave the club, as an Arsenal transfer edges towards completion. Gyökeres had never played top flight football before arriving in Lisbon in 2023, but 97 goals and two Lia Portugal titles later, the Swede’s intent for moving has hardly been a secret.

Football coach and pundit Laurindo Filho has lambasted Arsenal-bound forward Viktor Gyokeres for his 'lack of professionalism' towards Sporting CP during his transfer saga.

Viktor Gyokeres is set to join Arsenal; the Swedish forward scored 39 league goals last season - more than any other player in Europes top eight leagues - but are goals in the Portuguese top-flight a fair judge of quality?

Arsenal have reportedly struck a deal with Sporting CP to sign talisman Viktor Gyokeres for a fee of £64 million (€73.8m/$86.3m), inclusive of add-ons.

Despite a narrow 1-0 loss to the Portuguese champions, Sunderland dominated large swathes of play and, if not for profligate finishing, should have at least secured a draw.
