London, July 19, 2025 – Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, with a full agreement between the two clubs now within touching distance.
Negotiations have advanced significantly in recent days, and the Gunners are hopeful of reaching a complete deal over the weekend. While a small portion of the proposed add-ons is still being finalised, the overall package—worth €63.5 million upfront with an additional €10 million in performance-related bonuses—is broadly agreed.
Sources close to the discussions suggest that once the final details are ironed out, Gyökeres will be granted permission to travel to London for a medical and finalise personal terms.
The Swedish international enjoyed a prolific season in Portugal, attracting widespread interest across Europe. However, Arsenal have moved decisively to bring the 26-year-old to the Emirates, identifying him as the ideal candidate to lead their line as they prepare for another title push under Mikel Arteta.
Gyökeres’ physical presence, sharp movement, and clinical finishing make him a strong fit for the Premier League, and Arsenal fans will be eager to see how he integrates into a forward line that already boasts the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Ødegaard.
If all goes according to plan, Gyökeres could be unveiled as an Arsenal player early next week.
