Arsenal are close to sealing a move for Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyökeres.
Sources said personal terms have been agreed over a five-year deal for the 26-year-old and that negotiations between the two clubs have accelerated in recent days.
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta flew out to Lisbon for direct talks with Sporting president Frederico Nuno Faro Varandas and the club’s new sporting director Bernardo Palmeiro.
A full agreement is close for a fee of €65 million ($76.6m). The structure of the deal is still to be finalised but there is optimism from the north London club that they will get their man.
