In principle, Arsenal has finally agreed a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
The Gunners will hand over £ 63.5 million for the Swedish striker to sign a five-year deal.
The deal consists of an initial £ 54.9 million in advance reimbursement, plus £ 8.6 million in add-ons, while the agent of the striker waived his £ 1.7 million bonus to force the movement.
Arsenal reportedly made progress this weekend in negotiations in an attempt to complete the transfer.
Gyokeres will be the fourth signing of the summer window, where Kepa Arrizabalaga joins Chelsea, Christian Norgaard from Brentford and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
The club has also agreed a £ 52 million deal for Stamford Bridge wing player Noni Madueke, who left the blues for their club World Cup final on Sunday.
Arsenal was a large part of last season without a recognized NO9 when they finished second in the competition, ten points behind champions Liverpool with 17 fewer goals scored.
The requirements of Sporting for Gyokeres were considered a first reimbursement of £ 60.4 million, plus £ 8.6 million in add-ons.
But Gyokeres refused to return to the training for the season with speech in the midst of his desire to become a member of the Premier League club.
The 27-year-old came to the Portuguese club from Coventry City in 2023 and has developed into one of the most much-needed players in Europe.

Gunners sports director Andrea Berta flew to Lisbon by the end of last week to lead negotiations with the Portuguese champions.
While Gyokees it was thought that he was injured and angry by the situation after he had believed that spells went back with the agreement of their supposed gentlemen to make him leave for a fair compensation.
During the weekend, Varandas said that Gyokeres was confronted with disciplinary measures after not reporting for training for the season.
Gyokeres, who scored 54 goals in 52 matches during the competition title and Cup Double of last season, still has to publicly explain why he did not appear for the preview.
Varandas told the Portuguese news agency Lusa that “no one is above the interests of the club”.
Former striker of Brighton and Coventry Gyokeres scored 97 goals in 102 games during his two seasons in Portugal and sports for two league titles.

Gyokeres' agreement will certainly appease the smoking Arsenal fans who have been called for an out-and-out striker for several years.
A group of Goooners even has murals that shine Mikel Arteta and other important club figures outside the Emirates Stadium in recent days outside the Emirates Stadium.
A row of banners under the Hornsey tunnel in North Londs was destroyed with graffiti and said that “Arteta Out” spread over the wall.
Gyokees claimed this week that he is one of the best strikers in world football and comparable himself to Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
