Arsenal’s summer just got hotter. Viktor Gyökeres, one of Europe’s most feared forwards, is flying to Singapore for a medical ahead of a blockbuster move from Sporting CP. The Gunners have agreed a deal worth €63.5 million upfront, with potential add-ons taking it to €73.5 million.
If all goes well, the Swedish star could wear red and white by this weekend.
Deal Done, Eyes on Debut
After weeks of negotiations, Arsenal and Sporting finally struck a deal.
The base fee is €63.5 million, and performance-based bonuses could add another €10 million.
The move is on fast-forward. Arsenal want Gyökeres registered in time for their pre-season clash against Newcastle in Singapore.
Medical in Singapore, Not London
In a smart shift, Arsenal have arranged the medical in Singapore, not back home.
The squad is already there for their Asia tour. So is the excitement.
Gyökeres will undergo tests within the next 48 hours.
If cleared, the club will announce him before Sunday’s match.
From Lisbon Goals to London Glory?
Gyökeres lit up Portugal last season.
He scored 43 goals in all competitions for Sporting, leading their title charge and storming into Europe’s elite radar.
Now, he’s set to lead Arsenal’s line.
With Gabriel Jesus struggling for fitness and Kai Havertz still finding form, Arteta needed a weapon.
Gyökeres is that weapon.

Gyökeres Forced the Move, Arsenal Reaped the Reward
This transfer didn’t just happen. Gyökeres made it happen.
He reportedly refused to return to Sporting training.
He even accepted a pay cut to make the Arsenal move work.
The message was loud: he only wanted North London.
If the medical clears, and it should, Arsenal will unveil their newest signing in style.
He may even debut against Newcastle in front of thousands of fans in Singapore.
Viktor Gyökeres is about to become a Gunner.
