🚨 DEAL DRAMA AT ARSENAL!
Arsenal have missed a major deadline in their push to sign red-hot striker Viktor Gyokeres, dealing a huge blow to Mikel Arteta’s summer plans.
The Gunners were desperate to wrap up the £55m+£7.4m add-ons deal before flying out for their pre-season tour of Asia, but talks with Sporting Lisbon have stalled.
According to the Daily Mail, the 27-year-old Swede was tipped to be on the plane this weekend — but he’s staying in Sweden, with both clubs still clashing over bonuses, payment structure, and even solidarity contributions. 😬
🛑 Arteta wanted his man in before next Wednesday’s match vs AC Milan, but unless a deal is struck swiftly, Gyokeres won’t feature in Singapore or Hong Kong — where Arsenal also play Newcastle and Tottenham.
If negotiations finally break through, he could make his debut on August 6 vs Villarreal.
⚽️ Gyokeres has been a beast in Portugal, smashing 39 goals last season, and after a rough stint at Brighton, he's hungry for Premier League revenge.
Meanwhile, Arsenal shocked fans by **signing Noni Maduekefrom Chelsea, adding to a summer spree that includes **Zubimendi, Norgaard, and Kepa — all for *£70.8m** combined.
📣 Arsenal fans, what do you think?
Will this deal still happen?
