The reason why Arsenal haven’t yet completed a move for the 27-year-old is because the two clubs are ‘separated by €2.5m’ (£2.1m). According to another Portuguese outlet, A Bola, Arsenal have already offered Sporting €63.5m plus €10m in bonuses for Gyokeres’ signature.

Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres will reportedly join Arsenal in the coming days after the final clauses of his contract are negotiated.

Arsenal are in the process of completing a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres after taking final steps in negotiations with Sporting CP for the striker.

Standard Sport understands the final details of a move are now being discussed and all parties are moving towards reaching a full agreement for the 27-year-old to join the Gunners in a deal worth €63.5million (£54.86m), with a further €10m (£8.64m) in add-ons.

The Arsenal striker saga is nearing conclusion as the club reportedly made the final steps in negotiations around one of the most sought-after forwards.
