Gyokeres's impending transfer to North London had been slightly held up by a Sporting soap opera, as club president Frederico Varandas firstly denied the existence of a €70m (£60.7m) gentleman's agreement with the striker's camp.

Former England boss Roy Hodgson has opened up on striker Viktor Gyokeres and how he could have a real impact at Arsenal.

Beyond Arsenal, Goldbridge expanded the discussion to the broader Premier League transfer market. He praised Chelsea, saying, “Chelsea deservedly beat the best team in the world, which is PSG,” and highlighted the dominance of English clubs, remarking, “We now have a Super League and it’s benefiting the Premier League massively.”

An imminent deal that would see Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres join Arsenal is now ‘at risk of collapse’, according to reports.

Gyokeres performed excellently in 2024-25, scoring 45 goals in 41 matches for Sporting, and he also netted three times against Manchester City in the Champions League. Standing at just over six foot tall, the attacker may be able to act as a focal point for creative stars like Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.

The Arsenal striker saga is nearing conclusion as the club reportedly made the final steps in negotiations around one of the most sought-after forwards.

Viktor Gyokeres could be on the move this summer to Arsenal and it has now been revealed how the Gunners could eventually pick up the striker for free. The 27-year-old is among one of the transfer sagas of the past few months with intense speculation surrounding his future and where he will be playing his football next season.
