“With Luis Suarez preparing to join Sporting, Gyokeres is ready to move to Arsenal. Sporting has accepted the proposal from the London team on Wednesday. Since then, the two sides have continuously exchanged documents and reviewed legal terms, including some points arising at the last minute.”
The source said that this prolonged process has made the agreement unable to be announced as expected, which is expected to be completed yesterday. However, everything is on the right track and if there is no big incident or unexpected event, Gyokeres will soon become Arsenal.
Also according to O Jogo, the 27 -year -old striker will conduct medical examination on Friday. Without any obstacles, he would fly to Singapore to join Arsenal on a trip before the season.
The team of coach Mikel Arteta will face Newcastle in a friendly match this Sunday, before entering the fiery derby against Tottenham on July 31. After that, they will return to England to play two home games, including the Emirates Cup match, to complete the momentum for the new season.
Rookie Gyokeres is expected to be the perfect piece in Arteta's attack diagram, bringing strength, speed and ability to hunt goalscores proven in Portugal. Fans “Gunners” are counting hours to welcome the Swedish blockbuster.
