Arsenal are on the verge of signing Viktor Gyokeres, with the Swedish striker expected in London on Friday to finalise his move from Sporting CP. The Gunners have agreed a £63.8 million (€73.5m) deal and plan to integrate him into their pre-season tour in Singapore.

Viktor Gyokeres is set to join Arsenal; the Swedish forward scored 39 league goals last season - more than any other player in Europes top eight leagues - but are goals in the Portuguese top-flight a fair judge of quality?

Football coach and pundit Laurindo Filho has lambasted Arsenal-bound forward Viktor Gyokeres for his 'lack of professionalism' towards Sporting CP during his transfer saga.

Mikel Arteta believes Gyokeres is the ideal candidate to solve Arsenal's striker issue, with the former Coventry City forward racking up an incredible tally of 97 goals in 102 matches in two seasons in Portugal, firing Sporting CP to two league titles in the process.

Alexander Isak snubbed fellow Swede Viktor Gyokeres when he was asked to name his dream five-a-side team of footballers he's played alongside. Both strikers have been at the centre of intense transfer speculation this summer.

Arsenal are believed to have finally secured a full agreement with Sporting CP over the transfer of prolific striker Viktor Gyökeres after belatedly settling on suitable add-ons.
