Arsenal are closing in on a major summer signing, with Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres set to join the Gunners in a deal worth up to €73.5 million.
Transfer insider reports confirm that a verbal agreement is in place between all parties involved, marking a decisive breakthrough in negotiations.
Sporting CP have accepted Arsenal’s latest offer of €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons, after weeks of speculation surrounding Gyökeres’ future.
Notably, the player’s agent has agreed to reduce his commission, clearing the final hurdle in the deal.
The 26-year-old is expected to sign a five-year contract at the Emirates Stadium, committing his long-term future to Mikel Arteta’s project. Sources close to the deal say Gyökeres had “only one destination in mind” — Arsenal.
