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.

Arsenal are putting the finishing touches on a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres after a key breakthrough in negotiations with Sporting. The Gunners have struck a deal worth £54.8million plus £8.6m in potential add-ons but the deal was being held up due to issues over the nature of the add-ons.

Myles Lewis-Skelly couldn’t hide his excitement as news spread that Arsenal had made a major breakthrough in their attempts to capture Viktor Gyokeres this evening.
