BREAKING: Arsenal Are Getting Closer to Signing Viktor Gyökeres After New Talks!
Arsenal Football Club is making significant progress in its pursuit of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, following fresh and productive talks between the two clubs this week. The Gunners have been tracking the Swedish international for several months, and sources close to the negotiations now reveal that a deal is edging closer as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Gyökeres, 26, had an outstanding season with Sporting, scoring 43 goals and providing 15 assists across all competitions. His explosive performances helped the Portuguese side clinch the Primeira Liga title, and he has since become one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe. Arsenal, in desperate need of a prolific goal scorer to complement their young attacking talent, view Gyökeres as the ideal addition to push the team toward serious title contention.

Recent reports suggest that Arsenal technical director Edu Gaspar has intensified negotiations with Sporting CP, and discussions have now reached an advanced stage. Sporting is believed to be holding firm on Gyökeres’ release clause, reportedly around €100 million (£85 million), but Arsenal is hopeful of striking a deal that includes performance-based bonuses and a structured payment plan.
The North London club has long struggled to find a consistent goal-scorer since the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Despite the emergence of talents like Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, neither has delivered the volume of goals Arteta needs to take his team to the next level. Gyökeres, with his physicality, technical skill, and eye for goal, is seen as a game-changing signing who could transform Arsenal’s attack.
According to sources, Viktor Gyökeres is open to the move and excited by the prospect of playing in the Premier League under Arteta’s system. He has reportedly been impressed by Arsenal’s recent progress in the league and their return to Champions League football. Personal terms are not expected to be a stumbling block, as the player is believed to be eager to test himself at the highest level in England.
Arsenal fans have taken to social media in anticipation, with many urging the club to finalize the deal quickly to avoid competition from other European giants. Clubs like Chelsea and AC Milan have also been linked with Gyökeres, but Arsenal appears to be in pole position following the latest round of talks.
Should the deal go through, Gyökeres would become Arsenal’s most expensive signing ever, signaling the club’s ambition to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.
With the transfer window heating up and Arsenal pushing hard, all eyes are now on Edu and the club’s hierarchy to seal the deal. More updates are expected in the coming days as negotiations continue to progress.
