Official: Viktor Gyökeres joins Arsenal in €80m deal from Sporting
It’s finally done. After weeks of negotiations, tension, and stand-offs, Viktor Gyökeres has officially signed with Arsenal, bringing an end to one of this summer’s most drawn-out transfer sagas.
The Swedish striker arrives in North London from Sporting CP in a deal worth up to €80 million, including performance-related bonuses. The 27-year-old had been pushing for the move, even missing 14 days of preseason training to force through the transfer — and now, he’s finally got his wish.
Despite the drama, Sporting bid a respectful farewell to their former star. “One of the best in our history,” the Lisbon club wrote on social media, thanking Gyökeres for his contribution during his time in Portugal.
This is where you need to be.
