Arsenal Seal Major Move for Viktor Gyökeres in Summer Signing Push
Arsenal are on the verge of landing one of their biggest targets of the summer—Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish striker is set to swap Sporting Lisbon for North London in a deal that’s now all but done.
Football insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on 𝕏, writing that the agreement has been finalized between the clubs, the player, and his representatives.
Arsenal will reportedly pay €63.5 million upfront, with an extra €10 million tied to performance bonuses. To smoothen the process, Gyökeres’ agent is said to have reduced his commission, clearing the way for the final steps.
The 27-year-old is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Gunners. Despite interest from other top European clubs, he had his sights firmly set on Arsenal.
After a standout season in Portugal, Gyökeres caught the attention of scouts across Europe—but the striker remained focused on making the move to the Premier League.
For Arsenal, this move sends a clear message: they’re serious about strengthening their squad and chasing glory after coming close last season. With Gyökeres’ strength, sharp instincts in front of goal, and ability to lead the line, he brings a fresh edge to the team’s attacking options.
All that’s left is the final paperwork and an official unveiling—which now feels just moments away.
