The move of Viktor Gyokerres to Arsenal to be completed this weekend
The long-term future of the Swedish striker Viktor Gyokerres must finally be finalized this weekend, because the man of the Sports CP will end his move to Arsenal.
According to the BBC, Gyokerres received Sporting’s permission to go to London for his doctor now that the final negotiations of the agreement have been concluded.
Transfer fees of 63.5 million pounds sterling had been agreed between the two parties, but the talks had recently been blocked due to disagreements on the sale costs.
But the 27 -year -old will now be able to sign what is considered a five -year contract in the coming days.
Having missed the compatriot of Gyokerres, Alexander Isak, and would have been interested in Benjamin Sesko, the Gunners turned their attention to Gyokerres to fill the center-forward position which has been vacant for the Emirates for some time.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is naturally eager to have the Coventry City player involved in the pre-season of his team, “Obviously, once we have finalized everything with the player, we want to integrate it with the team as quickly as possible,” He said.
The Swedish international scored 54 goals in 52 games for the Portuguese team last season was linked to many European elite clubs in the past 12 months.
He will soon connect with his new teammates during their tour in Asia – currently Arsenal is in Singapore, then goes to Hong Kong to face the rivals of Tottenham Hotspur later this month.
