Medical schedule: Arsenal set to complete the signing of £80m superstar who rejected Guardiola Man city offer last summer, Agreement finally reached on a 5yr deal, unveiling will be done in the 24hrs

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are on the verge of signing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres in a deal worth €90 million.

### Arsenal’s Pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres

Arsenal, under the guidance of manager Mikel Arteta, are nearing the acquisition of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, as reported by Leonino. The striker had an outstanding season, which has prompted Arsenal to finalize terms with the Portuguese club for his transfer.

### Arsenal’s Quest for a Top Striker

The Gunners have come tantalizingly close to winning the Premier League in the last two seasons but have fallen short, losing out to Manchester City. Arteta believes that to surpass Pep Guardiola’s team, Arsenal needs to enhance their squad’s quality, particularly in the forward positions.

The Spanish manager is particularly keen on securing a world-class striker to bridge the gap. Frustrated with the current forwards’ lack of output, Arteta is eager to add a new number nine to the team. Viktor Gyokeres has emerged as a top target for Arsenal.

Arsenal’s interest in Gyokeres stems from his impressive form. Since joining Sporting from Coventry City last summer for €20 million, he has been a revelation, contributing to 58 goals in his debut season. Gyokeres scored 43 goals in 50 matches, a performance that caught the attention of Arsenal’s scouting team.

### Finalizing the Deal

Arsenal’s pursuit of Gyokeres has been intense. Despite the Swedish striker having four years left on his contract and a hefty €100 million release clause, Arsenal have negotiated a deal for €90 million upfront, with an additional €30 million based on performance-related variables.

Negotiations have progressed rapidly, and it is expected that the deal will be finalized by the end of the month. Arsenal fans are hopeful that Gyokeres’ arrival will provide the goal-scoring prowess needed to finally clinch the Premier League title.
