Viktor Gyökeres is at last on the verge of signing for Arsenal with the two clubs now agreeing a fee for the striker.

The Gunners and Sporting CP have been going back and forth over the transfer for much of the summer but that saga is now near an end.

According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Arsenal will pay an initial €63.5 million (approx. £55 million) for the Swede with an additional €10 million in add-ons for the player who is set to sign a five-year deal with the club.

Gyökeres joined Sporting from Coventry City in the summer of 2023 and has been in sensational goalscoring form in Portugal. The 27-year-old has played 102 games for the Lisbon-based club, scoring an impressive 97 goals and assisting 27 more helping his team to two Primeira Liga titles in a row as well as winning last season's Taça de Portugal.

Should the deal be completed as expected then Gyökeres will be Arsenal's fifth signing of the summer window.
