Sweden international scored 39 goals last season
27-year-old becomes Arsenal’s sixth summer signing
Arsenal have finally solved their striker conundrum by completing the signing of Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting for an initial £55m.
The 27-year-old Sweden international, who fired Sporting to the title last season with 39 goals and struck a Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City, is understood to have signed a five-year deal at the Emirates.
Gyökeres’ transfer, which could end up costing as much as £64m with performance-related add-ons, takes Arsenal’s close-season spending to the region of £200m.
