Viktor Gyokeres can finally get a transfer wish after taking drastic action

Arsenal is in line with a deal to sign coveted striker Viktor Gyokeres after new escalation in a bitter row between Sweden Star and the current club Sporting Lisbon

The powerful push of Viktor Gyokeres to get that a sporty exit from Lisbon has been set to succeed with the latest reports that suggest that the Sweden -striker is closer to securing a switch to Arsenal is after the match of personal conditions.

And Despite Sporting Chief Federico Varandas Furiously Saying Last Month That “Threats, Blackmail and Insults Don’t work with me” After Gyokeres Allegedly Personally Phoned Him To Say He would not play for the Club A Love ATSURE ACTIFY WAS ACTIVERY ACTIVER ATSVERY OFSURE ATSVERY OFSURE ATSVERY ATENTIFY Belief that the Portuguese club May be left with no other option but to sanction a deal.

Sporting has made it clear for months that they accept nothing less than their asking price of £ 85 million for their top scorer. The Gunners, who can now look to put their interest in RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, reportedly had a bid of around £ 60 million rejected by Sporting last month.

But after yesterday confirmation of the signing of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in a reduced price of £ 5 million deal from Chelsea, reports of spending the night of French newspaper L’Equipe Referring to the agent of Gyokeres suggests that there is an agreement on personal conditions and a five -year -old deal between the player and Arsenal.

Arsenal also pushes on with a deal for the Spain -midfielder Martin Zubimendi, although adding a striker remains the top priority of the window.

Gyokees came to Sporting of Coventry City two years ago in a club record € 20 million (£ 17.2 million) deal and has a contract that runs until the summer of 2028.

His current club insists that they will only sell when a release clause of € 100 million (£ 86 million) is activated, but Gyokeres claimed that he concluded a gentleman agreement last year with the hierarchy that they would leave him for € 80 million (£ 68 million).

That was strongly refused by Varandas, who saw Gyokeres 54 goals score in 52 performances in all competitions last season.

Manchester United has also been associated with a movement for Gyokees, although their attention now seems to be on Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo who has already added Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £ 62.5 million.

United must also discharge various unwanted stars, including Marcus Rashford and Antony, to finance further expenditures in the summer window.
