Gyokeres puts pressure on Arsenal

Striker Viktor Gyokeres continues to show his displeasure when Sporting CP makes it difficult for him to find a new destination in this summer transfer window.

Gyokeres determined to leave Sporting.

According to Record , Gyokeres has said he will not return to training in Lisbon if a move to Arsenal fails. The striker also stressed that a £60m fee would bring a significant profit to Sporting, as they only spent £20m to recruit him from Coventry two years ago.

Gyokeres is said to have called Sporting president Frederico Varandas to ask for a move. During the call, the Sweden international expressed his desire to join Arsenal and pointed out that he had given his all to Sporting.

Portuguese media reported that initially, the two sides were said to have had an informal verbal agreement, with Sporting willing to let Gyokeres go for €70 million. But now Sporting want €100 million, the same as his release clause. President Varandas has denied the existence of any agreement, adding to the tension between the two sides.

According to Record , Mr. Varandas publicly criticized Gyokeres, accusing the player and his team of trying to "blackmail" the team.

Gyokeres had an impressive season, scoring 54 goals in 52 games for Sporting. His form has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. Currently, Gyokeres seems to prioritize joining Arsenal because the "Gunners" will be in the Champions League next season.

In addition to Arsenal and Manchester United, big clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Al-Hilal are also pursuing Gyokeres' signature. This deal has become the center of attention in the transfer market this summer and is expected to continue.

Rice's masterpiece helps Arsenal secure a ticket to the Champions League. In the 55th minute, Declan Rice finished neatly into the far corner, scoring the only goal to help Arsenal defeat Newcastle 1-0 in round 37 of the Premier League, thereby securing a ticket to the Champions League.
