Things come together for Arsenal in the summer transfer window, with Viktor Gyokeres who become the newest signing of the big money.
Arsenal has already signed Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard and has sports director Andrea Berta Hard to more deals. The Gunners hunt at Sporting Lisbon -striker Gyokeres, Valencia defender Cristian Mosquera and Chelsea Winger Noni Madueke.
Madueke has completed his medical and Arsenal, are convinced that both Gyokees and Mosquera will be theirs in the coming days. The Gunners are about to go to Asia during their pre-season tour, so this is a crucial time for Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff.
There is still work to do while the club tries to bridge the gap between the second place – where they have ended in the last three seasons – and first in the Premier League. Here are the last pieces of transfer news about Arsenal.
Gyokees is clear hint
Gyokees has been desperate to get his exit from sporty sorted and he is now almost to get his wish. Arsenal has finally agreed the conditions with the Portuguese club on a transfer costs of € 73.5 million (£ 63.5 million) – and Gyokeres packs his bags.
A disposal van was shown outside of Gyoke's House on Portuguese television on Thursday, with a record that confirmed the authenticity of the images and reported that the Swede sent a friend to supervise the process.
The conversations take place between the two clubs and the representatives of Gyokees about the finer details of the transfer, but it is clearly close. Once the deal is completed, the 27-year-old was able to fly outside to join his new teammates during their pre-season tour.
First contract for young person
Louis Zecevic-John hopes to follow in the footsteps of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly after signing his first professional deal with Arsenal. The 17-year-old still had a year to conclude his exhibition contract, but after contributing to seven goals and seven assists in 22 games last season, he earned new conditions.
The winger has noticed the success of attacker Nwaneri and left back Myles-Skelly and wants to focus a breakthrough in the first team in the coming year.
“They are only a few years above me and just look at the steps they took, Myles was not necessarily a left back, but of the opportunity to use as a left back,” he told the club website. “Now they start for Arsenal. I think Ethan and Myles are huge inspirations to hopefully follow their tracks to the first team.”
Gunners hijack Liverpool Move
Arsenal has muscular to poach a highly regarded young striker from under the noses of Liverpool. The Reds were in pole position to sign Will Wright from Salford City after he made the League Two Club an offer.
But Liverpool has now accepted the defeat in the race for the 17-year-old striker after Arsenal had them. Arsenal has made an offer worth £ 250,000 plus add-on for Wright, much more than the £ 100,000 plus add-ons that the Reds had previously offered.
Wright has attracted the attention of Manchester City, Brentford, Leicester City and Burnley with its target scores.
