Viktor Gyokeres has decided on a new destination

The race to sign Viktor Gyokeres appears to be coming to an end as the Swedish striker is said to have reached an agreement to join Arsenal.

Gyokeres is said to have reached an agreement with Arsenal.

Sporting Lisbon's main striker, who scored 52 goals in all competitions last season, has been in the sights of many European giants such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, and even Liverpool since the beginning of the summer transfer window.

According to the latest revelation from L'Equipe , Gyokeres chose Arsenal as the next stop in his career. The Gunners' new sporting director Andrea Berta directly led the negotiations, while Gyokeres' side announced their desire to join Emirates. Agent Hasan Cetinkaya is said to have closed the contract agreement with Arsenal.

However, the key issue is still at the negotiating table between Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon. President Frederico Varandas recently reaffirmed to O Jogo that no team has met the price Sporting is asking for Gyokeres.

Varandas even accused Gyokeres' representatives of trying to put pressure and "blackmail" Sporting into releasing him at a lower price than the agreement reached last summer, when both sides agreed to let him go for 60 million euros plus 10 million in additional fees.

Gyokeres is considered the solution to the striker problem that coach Mikel Arteta had a headache with during the second half of last season. Gabriel Jesus' serious ligament injury, along with Kai Havertz's physical problems, forced Arteta to rotate his attack with names that are not pure strikers such as Mikel Merino, Leandro Trossard or Raheem Sterling.

If nothing changes, the Gunners will end their thirst for a classy number 9 with the name that scored like a machine in Portugal. At that time, Viktor Gyokeres could become the most important piece in their ambition to overthrow Man City next season.
