Viktor Gyokeres is on the verge of joining Arsenal in a blockbuster deal, with the Gunners locked in advanced negotiations over a lucrative summer transfer.
According to reports in Portugal, Gyokeres has sacrificed €2 million in wages to make the move to the Emirates Stadium a reality. The Sweden international has agreed personal terms with Mikel Arteta’s side and has informed Sporting CP that he will not return for pre-season training.
Gyokeres has been in superb form for Sporting CP, scoring 97 goals in 102 appearances for the Portuguese club. His impressive form has caught the attention of top clubs, but Arsenal seem to be the favourite to sign him. The Gunners are close to finalising a fee with Sporting CP, with reports suggesting a deal worth €65 million plus €15 million in potential add-ons.
The €2 million wage sacrifice made by Gyokeres will reportedly be used by Arsenal to increase their bid for the player. This shows the striker’s commitment to joining the Gunners, and he is reportedly “doing everything in his power” to make the move happen.
Gyokeres has firmly set his sights on joining Arsenal this summer, and it’s believed that an agreement will be reached shortly.

Gyokeres will become the latest high-profile star to complete a move to the Emirates Stadium when the proposed deal is confirmed. The Gunners are also set to sign Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard and Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera.
The addition of Gyokeres would be a significant boost to Arsenal’s attacking lineup, and fans can expect to see big things from him in the upcoming season. With his talent and dedication, Gyokeres has the potential to become a key player for Arsenal in the years to come.
The deal is expected to be finalized shortly, with Gyokeres joining Arsenal in the coming days.
