Arsenal ‘close in on Viktor Gyokeres transfer’ – as they ‘agree personal terms with Sporting Lisbon star, who only wants to join Gunners’

Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon with Mikel Arteta pushing to quickly wrap up the deal, reports claim.

The club have also agreed personal terms with the in-demand striker, who has made it clear he wants to move to the Emirates despite interest from Manchester United.

According to The Athletic, negotiations are ongoing over a transfer fee but Arsenal are edging closer to landing the frontman, who scored 54 goals last season.

Gyokeres is expected to put pen to paper on a five-year deal once a bid is accepted, with Sporting said to be holding out for a total package worth just under £70million.
