Viktor Gyokeres looks set to finally become the striker Arsenal have been needing to sign for years. The Gunners have made their move to sign the Swede from Sporting CP, advancing talks with the Portuguese side over a £70million deal.

Arsenal will sign Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres for a transfer fee of €80 million, according to reports in Portugal.

Things look very promising for Arsenal on the Viktor Gyökeres front, even though an offer has been turned down.

Arsenal are working on a payment structure for a bid that could allow them to sign Eberechi Eze without a substantial sale this summer. Mikel Arteta went into the window with a budget for Martin Zubimendi and a forward - currently expected to be Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres - as well as one or two less expensive signings like Brentford's Christian Norgaard,

That could leave Eze in a potentially difficult position with all parties open to the move, but no obvious route to getting it done. The latest concrete update on Eze and Arsenal was that a meeting between the Gunners and his representatives took place last weekend.
