Viktor Gyokeres has decided that he will never play for Sporting Lisbon again while trying to try to take a step from the club by strike in the midst of Arsenal's interest
Arsenal is still optimistic that they sign Viktor Gyokeres, who threatens to go on strike to force a movement. Gyokeres, 27, has told Sporting Lisbon that he will not report for training for the season while they are preparing to return this week.
Reports in Portugal say that Gyokees wants to take drastic action to penetrate a relocation of £ 70 million to the Emirates. There has been an ever -ugly distance between Gyokees and sporty President Frederico Varandas who refuses to let him go without a fight.
Gyokees has effectively agreed personal conditions on a five -year contract, but the clubs are stuck in agreeing a fee. Earlier this week, Sporting imposed a “cooling” period after discussions with Arsenal had not produced an agreement.
Arsenal remains optimistic and sharp, but the move threatens to hold on, although Gyokores is desperate to move to the Emirates. Sporting wants around £ 70 million with at least £ 60 million in advance and the rest in add-ons, while Gyokores has insisted that he has a “men's agreement” with which he can go.
Varandas has denied that such an agreement is in force and that sportering is determined to determine the price.
That is the big obstacle, but there is still a huge optimism that the deal for Gyokeres will be done to become the new No9 from Arsenal. Gyokeres makes it clear that he does not want to return to sport in a further distance, but conversations are seen as postponed instead of stuck.
The ex-Coventry and Brighton striker Gyokeres left English football to become a huge hit in Portugal, where he scored 97 goals in 102 performances. Arsenal believes that he can score the goals to be a hit in English football and they push hard to do business before they do their previous season.
They conclude a deal for Chelsea Winger Noni Madueke, despite a big fan, to his signature.
They have announced Brentford's Christian Norgaard in a £ 12 million deal, they have closed a deal about keeper Kepa Arizabalaga.
Arsenal also has to bind Ethan Nwaneri, 18, who starts the last year of his contract, but wants to play time and the uncertainty around his future – where he fits perfectly with the Chelsea model – is a huge concern.
