Arsenal are closing in on an agreement to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP as discussions between the clubs continue. The Gunners are hoping to find common ground with the club’s president, Frederico Varandas on a price.

Darwin Nunez’s stint at Liverpool has caused fear over big money investments from Portugal but Arsenal should be confident that Viktor Gyokeres will be the striker they have been dreaming of instead of another costly flop in the Premier League.

Arsenal are in talks to sign Sporting's prolific Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres for £70m. As first revealed by BBC Sport on Thursday, Arsenal have had a clear focus on completing a deal for the 27-year-old in recent days and the club are now advancing in their pursuit of the forward.
