Arsenal and Sporting hope to agree a deal for Viktor Gyokeres before the striker is due to report for pre-season training on Friday. An agreement is yet to be struck between the clubs but negotiations are ongoing.

Arsenal are advancing in talks with Sporting over the signing of Viktor Gyokeres. A deal has not been finalized for the Swedish striker, but it appears he has emerged as Arsenal's favored option in a summer where they have also been in negotiations with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko.

A deal for the 27-year-old striker is not done as discussions continue over the fee — but the situation is progressing towards a conclusion.
