Arsenal are yet to seal a move for Viktor Gyokeres despite closing in on a deal that could be worth around £69 million ($93m). Gyokeres is determined to leave Sporting CP this summer as he wants a move to the Premier League ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and as a result he did not even turn up for the club's pre-season preparations and instead stayed back in his homeland.

Leipzig have not received any approaches or official bids as of yet, but it’s claimed that he could “realistically” go for a transfer fee of €65m plus add-ons.

This signing would mark another major statement from Arsenal in the transfer market, hot on the heels of confirming Noni Madueke’s arrival from Chelsea for £52 million.

“Dear Chelsea Football Club, I want to thank you for the Last 3 or so years. To every staff member that helped me along this journey, thank you,” he wrote.
