Viktor Gyökeres Breaks Silence After £55m Arsenal Move as Gunners Eye Third Summer Signing

Arsenal Confirm Two Key Signings as Talks Progress Rapidly for £55m Striker Viktor Gyökeres

Arsenal have officially kicked off their summer business with two major signings confirmed, signaling serious intent ahead of the new season. Midfielder Martín Zubimendi was unveiled shortly after his arrival from Real Sociedad, joining goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, whose move was also announced on a busy Sunday for the Gunners.

But the headline news doesn’t stop there.

Arsenal have now taken a major step toward solving their striker conundrum, with talks progressing rapidly with Sporting CP for in-demand forward Viktor Gyökeres. The Gunners have already agreed personal terms with the Swedish international on a five-year contract, should the deal be finalized.

The 26-year-old, who scored 43 goals last season, is seen as the final piece of Mikel Arteta’s attacking puzzle. Negotiations are ongoing, with Arsenal expected to trigger his £55 million release clause soon as they look to wrap up a third blockbuster signing in record time.

After a relatively quiet start to the window, Arsenal’s transfer momentum is now in full swing — and the North London faithful have every reason to be excited.

Viktor Gyökeres “Buzzing” Over Arsenal Move After Rejecting Man Utd and Juventus

Arsenal’s pursuit of Viktor Gyökeres has taken a massive leap forward — and the player himself is fully on board. Following a major breakthrough in negotiations, the 27-year-old striker is now considered destined to join the Gunners, with his excitement for the move becoming increasingly clear.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano shared the latest update, revealing that Gyökeres has already turned down offers from Manchester United and Juventus, prioritizing a switch to North London instead.

“Sporting, Arsenal and the agents are speaking constantly,” Romano reported. “Viktor Gyökeres is in contact with his agent every hour to be informed. He’s buzzing to go to Arsenal.”

The Swedish forward, who had an electric campaign with Sporting CP, views Arsenal as the perfect next step in his career. With personal terms already agreed on a five-year deal, it’s now just a matter of finalizing the deal between clubs — a process that’s moving quickly.

Arsenal fans should brace themselves for yet another major addition in what’s shaping up to be a blockbuster summer window.

Viktor Gyökeres Arsenal Transfer Fee Revealed as Excitement Grows

As Arsenal close in on a deal for Viktor Gyökeres, more details have emerged about the financial side of the move. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the Gunners are expected to pay an initial fee of £55 million (€65m) to Sporting CP, with add-ons included in the agreement.

Gyökeres has made no secret of his eagerness to join Mikel Arteta’s squad. As reported by football.london, the Swedish striker’s enthusiasm for the move was apparent early in the transfer window, with the forward making his desire to sign for Arsenal crystal clear.

football.london notes: “Given how he made his desire to join Arsenal very clear in the early stages of the summer transfer window, it is hardly surprising to see Gyökeres excited about his next challenge after this development.”

With personal terms agreed and negotiations rapidly progressing, Arsenal’s search for a top striker could soon come to a satisfying end.

Gyökeres Joins List of Stars to Reject Rivals for Arteta’s Arsenal Project

Viktor Gyökeres appears ready to become the latest big-name signing to choose Arsenal’s project under Mikel Arteta over other suitors. Just like David Raya, Declan Rice, and Jurrien Timber before him, Gyökeres is set to turn down interest from rival clubs to join the Emirates revolution.

Those previous additions have helped elevate Arsenal’s competitiveness, and there’s optimism that Gyökeres will bring a similar impact up front.

Notably, the £55 million fee agreed with Sporting is seen as reasonable, particularly compared to the higher demands from RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko. The add-ons are believed to be tied to goals and trophies, meaning they’re performance-based and attainable, though not guaranteed.

Nørgaard Announcement Around the Corner

While attention has been fixed on Gyökeres, Martin Zubimendi, and even Noni Madueke speculation, it’s easy to overlook that Christian Nørgaard’s transfer to Arsenal is essentially complete—pending only an official announcement.

The £15 million deal with Brentford was finalized last month, and with Zubimendi’s move now official, Nørgaard is expected to be unveiled early next week, further bolstering Arteta’s midfield depth.

Dream Deal

Amid all the buzz around marquee names and massive transfer fees, it’s easy to overlook just how smart and valuable this signing truly is. Bringing in a seasoned Premier League captain for a modest fee makes this a dream addition—one that boosts depth and leadership without draining the budget.

That financial breathing room is clearly being used to pursue bigger attacking targets, with Gyokeres’ announcement seemingly just around the corner. If things keep progressing at this pace, Arsenal fans could soon be treated to unveilings for Madueke, Rodrygo, or even Eze.
