Gyokeres is ‘willing to wait for Arsenal’ as agent insistent £60m Sporting deal

Viktor Gyokees is reportedly ready to exercise patience while he contains a move to Arsenal this summer.

The sporty Lisbon star is one of the most much sought after strikers on the market this summer after its goals in the past two seasons.

The Swede has yielded 97 goals in 102 performances for the Portuguese outfit since he signed Conventry two years ago.

It is no secret that a new striker this summer is the top priority for the Gunners after three consecutive second -placed finish in the Premier League.

United is also looking for a new attacker, with Rasmus Hojlund struggling since his big money moved to Old Trafford.

Gyokeres might know United Manager Ruben Amorim well from his time at Sporting, but the player has put his heart on a move to Arsenal, according to Portuguese Outlet Record.

Their report states that 'patience is the word' for the 27-year-old, who is willing to wait until the end to see his dream to play for Arsenal. '

His price card has become an important stumbling block for every deal with sport to maintain a considerably higher fee than originally agreed with the player's camp.

It is understanding that Gyokees believes that he reached a men's agreement with Sporting last summer, so that the club would accept a fee in the region of € 70 million (£ 60 million) including add-ons at the end of the season.

Gyokees has a release clause of € 100 million (£ 84 million) in his contract, and club president Frederico Varandas has accused Gyoke's team of trying to 'blackmail' the Portuguese giants.

The record report added: 'The agent of the Nordic player, Hasan Çetinkaya, believes that he can explain all the situations that are the origin of the conflict with evidence, so that Sportfans also understand the motives of the player.

“In that sense, the record has learned, the agent keeps the possibility to reveal an audio message from Hugo Viana in particular, in which he will confirm the men's agreement to allow Gyokeres for € 60 million + € 10 million, after the meeting held on 19 September last year.”
