Isak joining Liverpool would be a bitter pill to swallow for the Gunners, who will hope that Newcastle stand firm

The Gunners have finally 'unlocked' the Gyokeres signing after thrashing out a 'total agreeement' with Sporting CP, and with two more exciting signings also due to go through imminently

The reason why Arsenal haven’t yet completed a move for the 27-year-old is because the two clubs are ‘separated by €2.5m’ (£2.1m). According to another Portuguese outlet, A Bola, Arsenal have already offered Sporting €63.5m plus €10m in bonuses for Gyokeres’ signature.

Arsenal and Sporting CP have agreed upon 97% of the total package, but the Gunners are reportedly digging in over the final stipulation.

Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres will reportedly join Arsenal in the coming days after the final clauses of his contract are negotiated.

Arsenal are in the process of completing a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres after taking final steps in negotiations with Sporting CP for the striker.

Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak have shared the pitch on 12 occasions in the past. 10 of those have come for the Sweden national team, while the other two were when they played for their country’s U19s side. The last time the two strikers played together was in November last year.

Kai Havertz is set to have a fight on his hands if Arsenal are successful in their pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres and the German looks - quite literally - ready for battle
