Arsenal close to signing Viktor Gyökeres
Arsenal are close to finalizing a deal for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres for a fee close to 73 million euros.
Negotiations between both clubs have been ongoing, although the delay is due to disagreements over the details of the add-ons related to the player’s performance.
Sporting is willing to accept an initial fee of approximately 63 million euros, with an additional 10 million euros in add-ons, but seeks to make the triggers for the additional payments more achievable.
Despite this, sources suggest that the agreement is moving towards a positive conclusion and there is optimism that the 27-year-old player can complete his transfer in time to join Arsenal on their pre-season tour of Asia.
Once a final agreement is reached with Sporting, the deal could be finalized quickly, as Gyökeres has already agreed personal terms and a five-year contract with Arsenal.
- Rumors and news about transfers:
- Al Hilal interested in Isak from Newcastle.
- Mosquera will join Arsenal’s Asian tour.
Arsenal will face AC Milan in Singapore on Wednesday and Newcastle on Sunday, before traveling to Hong Kong to play Tottenham.
Gyökeres has scored 97 goals in 102 matches for Sporting, who have won consecutive Primeira Liga titles.
Cristhian Mosquera has arrived in Singapore to complete his transfer from Valencia, after the two clubs agreed on an initial deal of 15 million euros.
