London, July 22, 2025 — Arsenal are on the brink of completing a deal to sign Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP, with a total agreement now in place and only final details left to be resolved, according to The Athletic.
The transfer set at €63.5 million plus €10 million in bonuses had been in advanced stages for weeks, with both clubs aligned on the fixed fee but requiring further negotiations on the structure of performance-related add-ons. Those issues are now understood to be settled, with the finishing touches being applied.
Gyökeres, 26, has made it clear throughout the process that his sole preference was a move to Arsenal, despite interest from other top European clubs. The Swedish international has already agreed to a five-year contract, and preparations are being made in London for the completion of medicals and formalities.
The striker enjoyed a prolific campaign in Portugal last season, scoring 29 goals across all competitions, and has been identified by Mikel Arteta as the ideal addition to lead Arsenal’s frontline as they push to reclaim the Premier League title and compete in the Champions League.
Arsenal are expected to make the deal official in the coming days, with an announcement likely before the end of the week.
