Exclusive: Arsenal Stay Cool in Gyokerres Saga despite the interest of the end of Man United

Arsenal refuses to lose focusing while Viktor Gyokerres’ agreement enters his last stages, despite Sporting Lisbon’s attempts to trigger the late drama by offering Manchester United a path in the race.

The Swedish striker was at the center of a long -standing transfer saga, but the arsenal sources have remained calm and consistent in their message that the agreement is almost concluded.

The noise around the sudden involvement of United has raised the eyebrows, but says more about Sporting’s strategy than on any authentic threat to the position of Arsenal.

The Portuguese club holding a maximum value, they invited late interests in order to raise the price or adjust the conditions of payment in their favor.

United has indeed been approached with a last opportunity to enter the race, but the reality is less dramatic than it can seem.

While Ruben Amorim continued to admire for Gyokerres, United has not considered the 27 -year -old as an absolute priority since Arsenal started to push hard for an agreement in June.

They are not in a solid financial situation either to move with the speed that sport would likely require. The gyker liberation clause and the payment structure would require initial clarity, something that Arsenal has already worked with precision.

This clarity came with caution. Arsenal is known to be meticulous on the structure of payments, in particular in the financial parameters in which they operate.

Delays in the finalization of the Gyoker’s decision is not due to any lack of agreement between the player and the club, but are linked to minor but important details.

Sport, as always, leads to a good deal and it is understood that Arsenal has rejected in areas where they feel a possible compromise.

The key, however, is the player – and Gyokerres gave his word to Arsenal that he wants to play for Mikel Arteta.

His absence from the pre-season tour of Arsenal in Asia is frustrating because the plans were in motion to be in front of being integrated into the style of Arsenal.

Arteta wanted his new n ° 9 in place while they are launching in Singapore this week, but even without him, there is no panic. Sources insist that the agreement is in the last stages and considers it as a positive sign that Gyokerers remains unshakable in his commitment to join them.

The first match of the Arsenal season is against Manchester United. Internally, there is a silent confidence that Gyokerers will always be queuing in the colors of Arsenal to Old Trafford.
