Arsenal are yet to seal a move for Viktor Gyokeres despite closing in on a deal that could be worth around £69 million ($93m). Gyokeres is determined to leave Sporting CP this summer as he wants a move to the Premier League ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and as a result he did not even turn up for the club's pre-season preparations and instead stayed back in his homeland.

Gyokeres stirred controversy by skipping pre-season training with Sporting last week amidst ongoing transfer negotiations. Sporting's president Frederico Varandas has confirmed that the club intends to penalise the forward.
