Arsenal are in talks with Sporting over a move for Viktor Gyokeres, with a deal set to be concluded once a payment structure is agreed.

Sporting are looking for a total fee in region of ยฃ60-70m that would involve ยฃ10-15m of add-ons, that Arsenal are negotiating. If it goes that high, the English club are aiming for a kinder payment structure. Much of the discussion currently centres on how achievable the add-ons would be.

Mikel Arteta wanted a striker in before pre-season properly started, which is one reason for the sudden advancement. Arsenalโ€™s football leadership had been involved in constructive discussion over whether to proceed with Gyokeres or RB Leipzigโ€™s Benjamin Sesko, with Aston Villaโ€™s Ollie Watkins a fallback, and it is understood that the difficulty of doing a deal for Sesko has ultimately swayed the decision.
