Isak joining Liverpool would be a bitter pill to swallow for the Gunners, who will hope that Newcastle stand firm

The Gunners have finally 'unlocked' the Gyokeres signing after thrashing out a 'total agreeement' with Sporting CP, and with two more exciting signings also due to go through imminently

Arsenal are in the process of completing a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres after taking final steps in negotiations with Sporting CP for the striker. A deal in principle is in place, with an agreement of a €63.

Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak have shared the pitch on 12 occasions in the past. 10 of those have come for the Sweden national team, while the other two were when they played for their country’s U19s side. The last time the two strikers played together was in November last year.

Sporting have given Viktor Gyokeres permission to delay his return to pre-season until Friday while talks advance over potential Arsenal move. That development suggests the deal should accelerate next week as Arsenal close in on the top-level striker they have been targeting.

An imminent deal that would see Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres join Arsenal is now ‘at risk of collapse’, according to reports.
