Gyökeres takes major step to join Arsenal this summer

By on July 7, 2025

Arsenal have received a major boost in their bid to sign Viktor Gyökeres, according to reports from Record Portugal, confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

The Swedish striker, who currently plays for Sporting CP, is said to be doing all he can to make the move happen.

Reports claim Gyökeres has given up £1.7 million from his salary package in order to help facilitate a deal between the two clubs.

This act shows how badly Gyökeres wants the move and his strong desire to play in the Premier League next season.

Arsenal are doing all they can to land the striker and have already submitted a second offer to Sporting.

The new offer is worth £56 million plus £13 million in add-ons, as per the source. Talks between both clubs are still ongoing.

There are still small differences in valuation, but both sides are getting close to finding common ground.

The Gunners had already made progress in earlier talks, but an agreement has not yet been reached due to these fee differences.

Gyökeres makes personal sacrifice to help Arsenal deal

Gyökeres has not hidden his frustration with how long the process is taking.

Even so, the 27-year-old forward remains focused on making the switch to Arsenal a reality.

He believes this is the right move for his career and is willing to do his part to help it go through.

His decision to give up part of his wages underlines his commitment to joining the North London side.

Arsenal pushing to reach agreement with Sporting

Arsenal and Sporting remain locked in talks, but sources say they are edging closer to a final agreement.

The Gunners want the deal done quickly so that the striker can join Mikel Arteta’s side for pre-season.

The club have already agreed personal terms with Gyökeres over a five year contract.

Arsenal see him as a key signing who can add quality and goals to their frontline ahead of the new campaign.

Gyökeres is ready to make the move and is waiting for the green light from both clubs to complete it.
