US EditionTottenham Have Shown Man United How They Can Complete Viktor Gyokeres Transfer
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 12 – Arsenal face a £5 million valuation gap with Sporting Lisbon over Viktor Gyokeres, who has refused pre-season training to push for a transfer amid a competitive striker market.
- Viktor Gyokeres, a 23-year-old Sweden international, refused to join Sporting Lisbon's pre-season training as he seeks a transfer to Arsenal this summer.
- Gyokeres believes in an agreement for a €60m plus €10m fee, but Sporting president Frederico Varandas denies this and demands €70m upfront with add-ons.
- Arsenal has agreed personal terms with Gyokeres on a five-year deal and offered about £65m plus add-ons, but talks with Sporting stalled over a £5m gap.
- Sporting will punish Gyokeres with a heavy fine for his absence and insists they will not be forced to sell below their valuation, despite his ongoing strike.
- Observers expect Sporting may relent as the transfer window progresses, with United and Juventus interested, while Arsenal remains the favored destination for Gyokeres.
