Arsenal could try pre-agreement deal for Viktor Gyokeres

Arsenal are keen on signing Viktor Gyokeres and could try to reach a pre-agreement with his club Sporting Lisbon in the January transfer window, according to GiveMeSport. The report has claimed that a number of clubs are keen on Gyokeres, and that Arsenal are hoping to get ahead of the chasing pack.

“Gyokeres will be allowed to leave Sporting for £62.5million at the end of the season thanks to having a gentleman’s agreement with his current employers, according to GMS sources, but Arsenal and other suitors will have the chance to pre-agree a deal in January if they are willing to cough up more cash in order to fight off stiff competition,” states the report in GiveMeSport.

The report has added that “Sporting are open to negotiating a pre-summer agreement with suitors for a fee in the region of £71million, as they are aware that interested parties may want to jump to the front of the queue for Gyokeres’ services”. Gyokeres has scored 16 goals and given one assist in 10 Liga Portugal matches and has scored five goals and provided one assist in four UEFA Champions League matches so far this season.
