Star striker interacts with fans as dramatic transfer saga nears conclusion—uncle claims he’ll stay, but signs point to exit!
In a twist-laden transfer saga, Victor Gyokeres was seen at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground this morning, engaging with fans and signing autographs—a move that strongly signals an imminent switch to the Emirates. The 26-year-old Swedish striker is reportedly scheduled for a medical within the next 24 hours, according to RealSport.
Arsenal, under the strategic command of sporting director Andrea Berta, has already activated Martin Zubimendi’s release clause and is now pushing for Gyokeres to lead their frontline next season. With Manchester United seemingly out of the race due to their lack of Champions League qualification, the path looks clear for Arsenal.
However, a new complication has emerged—Gyokeres’ uncle publicly declared they’ve “decided he has to stay” at Sporting Lisbon after a family dinner, praising the club, the city, and the atmosphere. Meanwhile, Sporting teammate Pedro Gonçalves added fuel to the mystery by stating that even in the dressing room, Gyokeres isn’t revealing his next move.
This comes just days ahead of the Taca de Portugal final, which could mark Gyokeres’ last appearance for Sporting. Sources suggest Arsenal will finalise the deal immediately after the match.
Verdict:
Despite public words suggesting a stay, the signs on the ground—especially his appearance in London and planned medical—point to a completed deal. Arsenal fans may well be on the brink of celebrating the arrival of one of Europe’s most lethal forwards.
