Arsenal are finally closing in on the signing of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, while the club are also focusing on strengthening their next generation of stars

Arsenal and Mikel Arteta are closing in on the signing of Viktor Gyokeres but Sporting CP are yet to ratify the deal and there's a spanner in the works for the Portuguese giants

Arsenal are yet to seal a move for Viktor Gyokeres despite closing in on a deal that could be worth around £69 million ($93m). Gyokeres is determined to leave Sporting CP this summer as he wants a move to the Premier League ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and as a result he did not even turn up for the club's pre-season preparations and instead stayed back in his homeland.
