HERE WE GO: Arsenal finally complete the signing of goal scoring machine who Netted 65goals in all competitions last season, Medical booked already \u2013 Congratulations Arsenal fans<\/p>\n
Arsenal are on the verge of completing the high-profile signing of Viktor Gyokeres, with the Sporting CP forward due to arrive in London on Friday to finalise his move.<\/p>\n
After weeks of tense negotiations, both clubs have now reached a breakthrough in talks, with Arsenal agreeing to pay \u20ac63.5 million up front, plus a further \u20ac10 million in bonuses tied to achievable targets, according to AS.<\/p>\n
The deal looked uncertain at several points, with Sporting president Frederico Varandas initially standing firm on a \u20ac100 million valuation and refusing to entertain lower offers.<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019s pursuit nearly collapsed earlier in the week, prompting the striker\u2019s representatives to step in and ease discussions, including reducing their commission demands to help get the deal over the line.<\/p>\n
Gyokeres, who rejected Sporting\u2019s call-up for pre-season duties, has made it clear that he wants to join Arsenal and push for major honours in England.<\/p>\n
The Swedish international has agreed a five-year contract with the Gunners and will earn around \u20ac8 million per season after tax.<\/p>\n
His arrival marks a significant step in Arsenal\u2019s bid to strengthen their forward line, with the 26-year-old seen as a key addition to support the club\u2019s push for the Premier League title.<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019s management were unwilling to meet Sporting\u2019s full valuation outright, but eventually conceded to a structure that satisfies all parties.<\/p>\n
Sporting had demanded that the \u20ac10 million in bonuses be easy to trigger, and after intense back-and-forth, the final framework includes a mixture of achievable and slightly more challenging add-ons.<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta has been a driving force behind the pursuit, and Gyokeres\u2019s arrival could see him feature in Arsenal\u2019s upcoming pre-season fixtures if the paperwork and medical are completed in time.<\/p>\n
The Gunners have already strengthened across multiple departments this summer, bringing in Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard.<\/p>\n
Moves for Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera are also nearing completion, with the club\u2019s sporting director Andrea Berta overseeing a frantic but efficient window.<\/p>\n
Gyokeres\u2019s imminent arrival gives Arsenal a powerful, versatile attacker capable of leading the line or operating in wider areas if required.<\/p>\n
The final agreement is now only subject to medical tests and the final signatures, with Arsenal hopeful of making the announcement official before the weekend.<\/p>\n
