Mikel Arteta takes drastic measures to force to go through the move of Viktor Gyokerres to Arsenal

Arsenal director Mikel Arteta managed to convince the club to make a major change to guarantee the signature of Viktor Gyokerres.

Since the end of the 2024/25 season, it is clear that Arsenal, as well as several of their premier League rivals, sought to sign a new attacker when the summer transfer window opened its doors.

Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko were strongly linked to a move to the Emirates, but, after weeks of negotiations, it seems that the Gunners finally concluded an agreement for the star of the gyoker sport.

Recent reports have suggested that Gyokerers will sign a five -year agreement with Arsenal, which will pay initial costs of around 55 million pounds Sterling (63.5 million euros), with another bonus of 10 million euros.

And as confirmation of the agreement is getting closer, some of the measures that have been taken to have it browsed were revealed, including the only thing that Arta had to convince Arsenal to make sure that Gyokerers joined.

During the last year, the owners of Arsenal, the Kroenke family, received considerable criticism from the fans base, with great feeling that they have prioritized profits on success in the field.

It is therefore not surprising that a report of The independentrevealed that, despite the rules of profit and sustainability, the Kroenkes did not feel comfortable to sanction a decision for Isak or Gyoker.

Instead, the owners of Arsenal prefer to prioritize the transfers which are “fully responsible” and have no risk, which led them to awarded a reduced transfer budget to Arteta this summer.

This frustrated artea which would have argued strongly and succeeded in postponing the budget this summer, allowing them to secure the signing of the Gyoker Declaration.

But that does not mean that the conclusion of the Gyoker Agreement was easy, because Arsenal remains under discussion concerning the bonus clauses which should be included in the agreement, arguing that 5 million pounds sterling of them are too easy to achieve.

However, the report seems to suggest that due to the tight budget of Kroenke, Gyokerres will be the last player to join Arsenal this summer, having already concluded agreements for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke.
