Arsenal are on the verge of completing the signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon, following a full verbal agreement between all parties.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development on Tuesday, stating: “Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between all parties involved.”
Sporting have reportedly accepted Arsenal’s final offer of €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons. Gyökeres’ agent is also said to have agreed to reduce his commission to help finalise the deal.
The 27-year-old forward is expected to sign a five-year contract with the North London club. After an outstanding season in Portugal, Gyökeres was reportedly keen on the move.
“He only wanted Arsenal,” Romano added.
With personal terms agreed and negotiations concluded, the signing represents a significant step in Arsenal’s summer transfer strategy.
