Talks continue between Arsenal and Sporting over the signing of striker Viktor Gyokeres as a gap in the valuation of the striker remains between the two clubs.
Sporting are thought to want £69m including add-ons for the 27-year-old.
While the clubs aren’t too far away from a compromise on an overall fee, it’s thought how much of that fee will be guaranteed is key.
Arsenal are understood to be encouraged and impressed with the player’s desire to join, but they will be disciplined in their approach.
They have done due diligence on other targets if a deal cannot be struck with Sporting.
Gyokeres was ruthless for Coventry during their 2022/23 campaign, and he’s only gotten better since then…
Sporting have given Gyokeres permission to delay his return for pre-season.
The Sweden international was due back on Monday – a week after some of his team-mates – but he has now been given until Friday as talks with Arsenal progress.
After joining Sporting from Coventry for around £20m in 2023, Gyokeres has scored 97 goals in 102 matches during his two seasons in Portugal.
Gyokeres hit 54 goals in 52 games in all competitions during the last campaign, including a hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League, as he helped Sporting win the league and the Portuguese Cup.
Sky Sports News’ Mark McAdam gives greater insight into Arsenal’s talks with Sporting CP for Gyokeres and what the striker could bring to the club
A move to Arsenal would see Gyokeres return to English football, having joined Brighton in January 2018 before moving to Coventry after loan spells at St Pauli and Swansea.
Gyokeres scored 43 goals for Coventry in his two and a half seasons at the Championship side.
Eze still primary target for Arsenal
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze remains a primary target for Arsenal in this window.
Internal discussions are continuing over the next steps.
Dharmesh Sheth discusses Arsenal’s interest in Eberechi Eze on the Transfer Show, saying the Crystal Palace forward is open to a move and explaining how the Gunners might pay his release clause
Arsenal know they can speak to Eze if they meet his release clause at Palace, which is believed to be an initial £60m plus £8m in add-ons.
However, if they want to negotiate on the clause, they will be required to approach Palace.
Arsenal are understood to be encouraged by Eze being open to a move to the Emirates.
Gunners to approach Chelsea for Madueke after CWC
Noni Madueke could be moving across London
Sky Sports News also understands Arsenal will formally approach Chelsea over the signing of forward Noni Madueke once the FIFA Club World Cup is over.
Madueke has emerged as a top target for Arsenal – they have followed his development over the past couple of years.
Madueke started on the bench in Chelsea’s last two games at the Club World Cup.
It’s believed Madueke is open to the move.
Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon are other players Arsenal have looked at.
A deal for Rodrygo appears difficult given the finances involved. He has made just one start for Real Madrid in the Club World Cup.
Arsenal expected to return with improved bid for Mosquera
Speaking on the Transfer Talk Podcast, Dharmesh Sheth explains why Arsenal are choosing to progress their long-standing interest in Valencia’s young centre-back Cristhian Mosquera
Meanwhile, Arsenal are staying patient and remain relaxed in their pursuit of Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera.
Valencia are thought to want €25m for Mosquera.
However, the feeling is Mosquera wants to join Arsenal. He has entered the final year of his contract and has not signed a new deal.
There is an expectation Arsenal will go back in with an improved offer after their initial bid worth €15m was turned down.

Tristan Wirfs knee surgery: Buccaneers All-Pro LT to miss start of 2025 season; what loss means to Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are experiencing some unexpected turbulence ahead of the 2025 season. All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs will miss the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his right knee, according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones. Wirfs underwent arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday after he aggravated an injury that forced him to miss one game last season, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Additional damage was found at the time of the surgery, per the report. While it's unclear how much time he will miss, Wirfs is expected to begin the season on the Buccaneers' physically unable to perform (PUP) list.Jones called Wirfs' situation an "unexpected offseason setback" for the Buccaneers, who will now have to find a suitable temporarily replacement at left tackle. Charlie Heck, a six-year NFL veteran with 23 career starts under his belt, is currently […]

2025 MLB Home Run Derby: Junior Caminero joins field of James Wood, Cal Raleigh, Ronald Acuña Jr. and more
Tampa Bays Rays young slugger Junior Caminero is the latest to confirm his participation in the upcoming 2025 Home Run Derby. MLB announced the news on Wednesday, which means just two spots remain in the eight-player Derby field. Caminero, who just turned 22 mere days ago, leads all major-league third baseman with 21 home runs this season. He's slashing .252/.294/.496 in this, his second MLB season, and he's not far removed from a 2023 campaign in which he hit 31 homers in 117 games across two minor-league levels. Not surprisingly, Caminero hits the ball hard, as his max exit velocity of 116.5 mph is in 97th percentile among big-league hitters in 2025. And almost no one boasts better bat speed. Caminero's average barrel speed of 78.0 mph is second only to that of his fellow Derby combatant Oneil Cruz.Incoming Cruz missilesPittsburgh Pirates slugger Oneil […]
