Arsenal are close to a deal for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres after negotiations over the finer details of the transfer took longer than expected.

Arsenal’s work on signing a new striker in the summer transfer window continues with a deal yet to be completed . The focus remains on Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres. The Sweden international made headlines with his goalscoring exploits in Portugal last season.

The Gunners remain calm over Gyokeres but are growing frustrated with Sporting’s refusal to compromise, as talks over a summer move continue to stall.
