Viktor Gyökeres is set to become a new Arsenal player, with a full verbal agreement now reached between Arsenal, Sporting CP, and the player’s camp.
Sporting have accepted Arsenal’s final offer of €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons, paving the way for the Swedish striker’s long-anticipated Premier League switch.
Gyökeres’ agent has agreed to lower his commission demands to help finalize the deal, allowing negotiations to move quickly toward completion.
The 26-year-old forward will sign a five-year contract with #AFC, having made it clear from the start that Arsenal was his only choice, despite interest from several other European clubs. Gyökeres is expected to add serious firepower to Mikel Arteta’s front line heading into the 2025/26 campaign.
Medical and official announcement expected soon, Arsenal have their striker.
