Mikel Arteta may have hinted that Viktor Gyokeres will complete his transfer to Arsenal “in the next few hours”. The Gunners have reportedly agreed a deal worth up to £63.8 million (€73m)

Mikel Arteta wants any new signings to join Arsenal ’s pre-season tour of Asia as quickly as possible, with the club now closing in on a move for Viktor Gyokeres. Arsenal have agreed a deal with Sporting for Gyokeres worth €63.5million (£55m) up front, with a further €10m (£8.7m) in add-ons.

It was a moment in April that should serve as a warning for Mikel Arteta this season. The Arsenal boss is about to get the No.9 the Gunners have needed for so long in Viktor Gyokeres.
