OFFICIAL: Arsenal complete signing of Viktor Gyokeres on five-year deal
Arsenal have officially confirmed the signing of striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon in a deal worth up to €73.5 million.
The Swedish forward has put pen to paper on a five-year contract, signalling a major coup for the Gunners ahead of the new season. The transfer package includes an initial fee of €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons, with the player's agent agreeing to reduce his commission to facilitate the move.
Gyokeres, 27, had made it clear throughout negotiations that Arsenal were his preferred destination, turning down interest from elsewhere. The striker enjoyed an impressive spell in Portugal last season, and his arrival is seen as a key addition to Mikel Arteta's attacking options.
The forward is expected to lead the line at the Emirates as the Londoners prepare to compete on multiple fronts, including the Premier League and Champions League.
The club have welcomed the striker warmly, and all parties involved expressed satisfaction with the swift completion of the deal. Arsenal fans will now eagerly anticipate Gyokeres making his debut in pre-season friendlies in the coming weeks.
