What once looked like a near-done deal may now be slipping away as talks between the Gunners and Sporting CP have reportedly hit a brick wall. The North London club had apparently agreed personal terms with the Swedish striker. Gyokeres was even ready to sign a five-year deal.

Things look very promising for Arsenal on the Viktor Gyökeres front, even though an offer has been turned down.

A deal for the 27-year-old striker is not done as discussions continue over the fee — but the situation is progressing towards a conclusion.
