Arsenal agrees deal with Sporting for striker Viktor Gyokeres — reports

Arsenal and Sporting CP have a total verbal agreement in place for the transfer of striker Viktor Gyokeres according to reports.

Sporting accepted Gunners’ last bid of €63.5m plus €10m, agent will reduce his commission.

The 27-year-old Sweden international, a highly sought-after striker across Europe, is precisely the front man the north London club has been desperately searching for over the past two seasons.

As per reports from England, Gyokeres was focused only on joining Arsenal and, despite late interest from elsewhere, he did not consider any other team.

Gyokeres has scored 54 goals in 52 matches for Sporting last season, and was identified as Arsenal’s preferred centre-forward target.

Arsenal was without a recognised No. 9 for much of 2024-25 following injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, as it finished second in the Premier League for a third consecutive campaign, ten points behind champios Liverpool with 17 fewer goals scored.
