I really wanted to block his move, but I’ve given up,” said Sporting Lisbon president Frederico Varandas. He confirmed that Viktor Gyökeres will travel to London on [date] to complete his Arsenal medical after recent talks.
Arsenal have already made a couple of important signings but the Gunners still have plenty of work to do this summer. They are said to be active on several fronts with Mikel Arteta eager to improve his squad for the upcoming season. The north Londoners will be desperate to finally achieve their goal of securing Premier League glory with a refreshed team.
Their midfield looks to be in a strong position following the arrivals of Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard. Kepa Arrizabalaga has also moved across from Chelsea to provide some capable backup in between the sticks. However, it will be crucial for Arsenal to improve in other areas if they are serious about winning silverware next season
Pay up for Viktor Gyokeres
Arsenal are pushing to complete the signing of Viktor Gyokeres but are yet to strike an agreement with Sporting over a transfer fee. They have reportedly been set a non-negotiable asking price of £60.3million up front and £8.6m in add-ons.
He is arguably the best striker in world football right now and Arsenal will be desperate to wrap things up as quickly as possible
Bring in Noni Madueke
Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has also been touted for a move to the Emirates Stadium and would be a solid acquisition. The news of Arsenal’s interest prompted a mixed reaction from supporters but there is every chance it would be a smart move.

He is capable of playing on both flanks, meaning he would battle Gabriel Martinelli for a starting spot while also providing excellent cover for Bukayo Saka. The winger also has plenty of room for growth at 23 years of age, giving him a high resale value.
While the £50m asking price set by Chelsea might be a little steep, it could repay itself in the future if Madueke thrives at Arsenal.
