Almeria's Luis Suarez is in Lisbon for his medical checks and is set to replace Viktor Gyokeres as his move to Sporting CP is nearing completion.

Viktor Gyokeres is set to join Arsenal; the Swedish forward scored 39 league goals last season - more than any other player in Europes top eight leagues - but are goals in the Portuguese top-flight a fair judge of quality?

Mikel Arteta believes Gyokeres is the ideal candidate to solve Arsenal's striker issue, with the former Coventry City forward racking up an incredible tally of 97 goals in 102 matches in two seasons in Portugal, firing Sporting CP to two league titles in the process.

Arsenal are on the verge of signing Viktor Gyokeres, with the Swedish striker expected in London on Friday to finalise his move from Sporting CP. The Gunners have agreed a £63.8 million (€73.5m) deal and plan to integrate him into their pre-season tour in Singapore.

Sporting CP fans have made clear their thoughts on Viktor Gyökeres’s desire to leave the club, as an Arsenal transfer edges towards completion. Gyökeres had never played top flight football before arriving in Lisbon in 2023, but 97 goals and two Lia Portugal titles later, the Swede’s intent for moving has hardly been a secret.

Alexander Isak snubbed fellow Swede Viktor Gyokeres when he was asked to name his dream five-a-side team of footballers he's played alongside. Both strikers have been at the centre of intense transfer speculation this summer.

Arsenal have reportedly struck a deal with Sporting CP to sign talisman Viktor Gyokeres for a fee of £64 million (€73.8m/$86.3m), inclusive of add-ons.

Arsenal are believed to have finally secured a full agreement with Sporting CP over the transfer of prolific striker Viktor Gyökeres after belatedly settling on suitable add-ons.
