Arsenal are on the verge of signing Viktor Gyokeres, with the Swedish striker expected in London on Friday to finalise his move from Sporting CP. The Gunners have agreed a £63.8 million (€73.5m) deal and plan to integrate him into their pre-season tour in Singapore.

Gyokeres was focused only on joining Arsenal and, despite late interest from elsewhere, he did not consider any other team.

The Viktor Gyokeres-to-Arsenal transfer saga is nearly complete, reports David Ornstein. The two clubs are nearing a “total agreement” for the Swedish striker’s move to North London, with just “finishing touches and minor tweaks” needed.
