Arsenal to be Viktors in race for Gyokeres

LONDON CALLING Gyokeres

- BY JOHN CROSS

ARSENAL are closing in on a sensational swoop for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres.

The Gunners have an agreement in place on a five-year contract in excess of £200,000-a-week for the Sweden international, who hit a staggering 54 goals last season.

But Sporting are still playing hardball on the fee and want around £70million with at least £60m up front - so Arsenal are pushing hard to strike an agreement.
