The supporters of Arsenal Football Club can finally rest easy with the news of Viktor Gyokeres joining from Sporting Lisbon.
The Gunners have been in desperate search of a striker since the end of the 2024/25 season as they believe that is the missing link to the club lifting a trophy. According to The Athletic, Arsenal and Sporting are on the verge of a total agreement for the transfer of the Swede, with personal terms already agreed with the player on a five-year deal.
How much is Arsenal going to pay Sporting for Viktor Gyokeres?
The fee now that has been agreed in principle is for an initial €63.5m plus a further €10m in add-ons which is performance based for the forward player.
How influential will the signing of Gyokeres be to this Arsenal squad?
Gyökeres has scored 68 goals in 66 games over the last two seasons, since the Swedish international signed for Sporting. Only Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane comes closest with 62 goals and Kylian Mbappe with 58 goals in third place.
Arsenal have already made four senior signings this summer, bringing in Kepa Arrizabalaga and Noni Madueke from Chelsea alongside Martín Zubimendi and Christian Nørgaard.
