Viktor Gyökeres has reached full agreement with Arsenal on personal terms and informed Sporting CP of his desire to join the Premier League side, sources confirm.
The Swedish striker has made it clear there is no intention to entertain other options, with his focus solely on completing a move to the Emirates as soon as possible.
Arsenal and Sporting remain in direct contact to negotiate the structure of the deal, which is described as “well underway” by those close to the talks.
Sporting previously set a €100m release clause for Gyökeres, but discussions are ongoing regarding payment terms and potential add-ons.
Gyökeres, 26, enjoyed a phenomenal season in Portugal, scoring 43 goals across all competitions and emerging as one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.
The Swedish international now looks set to become Arsenal’s marquee signing of the summer if negotiations progress as planned.
