Gyokeres signs in for Gunners

Gyokeres signs his Arsenal contract

- STUART MACFARLANE

ARSENAL have finally solved their striker conundrum by completing the £55million signing of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.

The 27-year-old Sweden international, who fired Sporting to the title last season with 39 goals and netted a Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City, is understood to have signed a five-year deal at the Emirates.

Gyokeres’ transfer, which could end up costing the north London club as much as £64m with performance-related add-ons, takes Arsenal's close-season spending to the region of £200m.

He becomes Mikel Arteta’s sixth summer signing and follows defender Cristhian Mosquera (£13m), midfielder Martin Zubimendi (£E60m), goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5m), midfielder Christian Norgaard (£10m) and forward Noni Madueke (£48.5m) in moving to the Emirates.
