ARSENAL’S HUGE £65M TRANSFER! Sporting CP Viktor Gyokeres Sign For Gunner! Sky Sports Arsenal News

Arsenal Football Club has made a seismic splash in the transfer market, with Sky Sports confirming the £65 million (€77m) signing of Sporting CP’s prolific striker Viktor Gyökeres, a move that bolsters Mikel Arteta’s squad for a serious tilt at the 2025/26 Premier League title.

The 27-year-old Swedish international, who scored an extraordinary 54 goals and provided 13 assists in 52 matches during the 2024/25 season, joins the Gunners as their marquee striker, ending a fierce transfer battle with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Juventus.

This blockbuster deal underscores Arsenal’s ambition to end their 21-year Premier League drought and compete in the Champions League.

The £65 million transfer, reportedly comprising a €55 million base fee plus €10 million in add-ons, falls below Gyökeres’ €100 million (£84m) release clause, showcasing the negotiation prowess of sporting director Andrea Berta, who met with Sporting officials in Menorca to finalize terms.

Despite tensions between Gyökeres and Sporting CP, with the striker reportedly furious over a broken promise to sell him for £51m-£60m, Arsenal’s firm offer and Gyökeres’ preference for the Gunners’ Champions League project secured the deal.
