Arsenal are set to complete the signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon, following a full verbal agreement between all parties involved.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal on Tuesday, stating, “Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between all parties involved.”
According to Romano, Sporting have accepted Arsenal’s final bid of €63.5 million plus an additional €10 million in add-ons.
The striker’s agent is also reported to have agreed to reduce his commission to facilitate the move.
Gyökeres will put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the North London club.
The 27-year-old forward, who enjoyed an impressive campaign in Portugal, was reportedly determined to make the switch to the Emirates.
“He only wanted Arsenal,” Romano added.
With personal terms agreed and negotiations finalised, the transfer marks another major move in Arsenal’s summer recruitment drive.
