Arsenal are close to a deal for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres after negotiations over the finer details of the transfer took longer than expected.

With Bryan Mbeumo now through the door, Manchester United will switch their focus to signing an out-and-out striker, and a report has revealed yet another opportunity to beat Arsenal to Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres.

It has now been reported that Arsenal have reach an agreement on a £54.8m deal for Gyokeres, plus £8.6m in add-ons, taking the total potential value to over £63m. With multiple outlets reporting the development, fans allowed themselves to get excited over the move after weeks of speculation and delays.

A lawyer has claimed Viktor Gyokeres could have to pay a huge fine if he refuses to play for Sporting as 'termination clause' revealed.
