Arsenal and Sporting CP have finally struck an agreement for the transfer of Viktor Gyokeres.
The Gunners will pay a fixed fee of around £55m (€63.5m) and €10m in add-ons for the striker.
According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Gyokeres’ agent agreed to waive a commission he was due from the deal.
Romano wrote on X: “The deal between Arsenal and Sporting for Viktor Gyökeres is now being sealed tonight with all parties involved.
“After agent’s decision to reduce his 10% compensation, Arsenal will pay initial fee worth €63.5m plus €10m add-ons being completed.”
This means Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has finally gotten the striker he set out to bring in this summer.
Arteta was also keen on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, but a deal proved difficult to do.
