Arsenal Football Club announced the signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting, with a five-year contract. The move aims to strengthen Arsenal's squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
Though financial specifics were not officially disclosed, British media sources suggest that Arsenal secured Gyokeres with a £55 million upfront payment, alongside £8 million in potential add-ons.
