Viktor Gyokeres, the Sporting striker, is on the verge of moving to the Premier League as his agent makes progress in securing a transfer. Recent reports suggest that Gyokeres is unhappy with Sporting, despite his success with the club, and is looking to leave this summer. The player believed he had an agreement to depart for around £59 million, but Sporting is holding out for his full £70 million buyout clause to be met.

There are rumors that Gyokeres may consider taking strike action to force through his desired move. His agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, has reportedly met with Arsenal's owners to discuss a potential deal, indicating that talks are at an advanced stage. Gyokeres has expressed a preference for joining Arsenal, potentially leaving Manchester United, his current club, behind in negotiations.

Despite pressure from his family and partner to stay at Sporting for another season, Gyokeres has hinted at his desire for a more vibrant lifestyle abroad. Arsenal is eager to secure the striker to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
