Arsenal Transfer Target Viktor Gyokeres does everything to try by switching from Sporting Lisbon that has been frustrated by the club's attempts to hold him
Viktor Gyokeres clearly rejected the air conversations with Sporting Lisbon while his transfersaga becomes bitter. The Swedish attacker is interesting for Premier League parties Manchester United and Arsenal this summer.
The Gunners seemed to be in line for his signature, with Gyokees pronounced his preference to move to North Londs. But a movement appears in a certain way, with sports determined not to sell it cheaply.
Gyokeres made that furious – who believes that the Portuguese giants have gone against their word to let him leave. He apparently threatened to strike to force an exit.
Sporting has now tried to smooth out things by holding conversations with their star Vooruit, but that offer has been rejected. According to Record, the Portuguese side approached Gyokeres in an attempt to set up the air discussions, but that offer was rejected by his entourage.
In the meantime, the former city star Coventry City remains on holiday in Saint Tropez and is not expected to report quickly for duty. However, he broke his silence over the current Saga last week.
He wrote to his Instagram story: “There are many conversations at the moment, most is incorrect. I will speak if the time is ripe.”
In the meantime, sporting President Federico Varandas has spoken about the current Saga and claimed that his side would not be bullied to sell Gyokeres. He said: “One thing you should already know is better. Threats, blackmail and insults do not work with me.
“I can guarantee that Viktor Gyökeres will not leave for € 60 million+10 million (£ 51 million+£ 8.5 million) because I never promised him. This game that the agent plays only makes the situation worse. To this day, Sporting has not had a offer for Viktor Gyökkeres nor last season.”

“I think it is reasonable to explain the entire process. The process started last year when the season ended, Sporting was champion and had a fantastic season,” Varandas added.
“During the transfer window we realized that Viktor would stay in the sport because we did not receive any offer for him. When the season started, the agent Hugo Viana approached several times, asking if we could add an extra compensation to the contract if he scored 'X' goals; I gave Viana the opportunity to negotiate, reason.”
Gyokeres has already been rejected by Real Madrid, while the Italian giants Juventus have offered him a mega £ 11 million a year to move to Turin.
Arsenal has already had their conversations for Gyokees on Ice after they have rejected their first bid. Instead, they focus on a deal for RB Leipzig -star Benjamin Sesko, with new claims that the Gunners have found an agreement on personal conditions.
