Arsenal have finally completed the £64m signing of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The saga had dominated the entirety of the summer transfer window for Arsenal fans as negotiations between Andrea Berta – who also considered Benjamin Sesko – and the Portuguese giants dragged on for weeks.

Gyökeres made no secret of his determination to join Arsenal and ended up going on strike, refusing to return for pre-season in an attempt to force Sporting to abide by a gentleman’s agreement which club president Frederico Varandas publicly insisted did not exist.

After months of speculation, the club have agreed a €63.5m fixed fee with a further €10m in add-ons for Sporting CP's free-scoring striker

Goncalo Inacio pulled one back for the hosts early in the second half, but Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard struck to secure a resounding 5-1 win over the Portuguese giants. “You were very solid defensively, it was hard to create chances,” Gyokeres admitted.

Now that Viktor Gyokeres has officially signed for Arsenal, the question has moved on to whether he will be a success with the Gunners. His goal record speaks for itself at Sporting, with the forward scoring 97 goals in 102 appearances and providing 26 assists during his time in Portugal.
