Arsenal continue to work on a deal to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, with agreement over the fee structure yet to be reached, journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The Gunners are pushing to bring the Sweden international to North London as soon as possible and are reportedly working to find an agreement ‘every single minute’.
While personal terms are not expected to be an issue, with a five-year contract already agreed, Gyokeres’ agents are said to be in London to try and finalise an agreement between all parties.
Arsenal’s latest proposal for Gyokeres is worth a total package of €73.5m (£64m), including a €63.5m fixed fee plus €10m in add-ons.

‘The conversation is still ongoing’
Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, provided the latest on Gyokeres’ potential move to Arsenal:
“The conversation is still ongoing. The agents of the player are still in London to try to resolve the agreement between all parties involved.
“Player side everything is already okay, a five-year contract, Gyokeres is fighting to go to Arsenal.
“But obviously, it’s really important to agree on the add-ons. They are really on it, every single hour, every single minute, Arsenal and working on this deal.
“So as soon as it is agreed, guys, I will let you know.”
Gyokeres has been earmarked as Arsenal’s priority striker target this summer, ahead of RB Leipzig ace Benjamin Sesko, who has been linked with a move for the past two transfer windows.
The ‘unbelievable’ Sweden international has blossomed into one of Europe’s most prolific strikers during his two seasons in Portugal, scoring a staggering 97 goals in 102 appearances for Sporting.
Arsenal are believed to be working on several deals alongside Gyokeres, with announcements expected soon for the arrivals of Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera.
The Gunners have already signed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard this summer.
