Viktor Gyokeres plundered Sport Lisbon and his former mentor and former arenal player.
Viktor Gyoker is backed by his 25 goals in his debut campaign with Arsenal. Gyokeres is currently on the verge of joining Gunner following a long and increasingly bitter exit from Sports Lisbon.
Arsenal and Sports agreed to the trade in principle with their first £55 million and £8.6 million add-ons and £8.6 million worth of £8.6 million a few weeks ago. But negotiations continued on the exact structure of the deal amid rumours that Manchester United could hijack the move, dragging it out.
These negotiations ultimately reach a conclusion, with Gyoker set to sign a five-year contract with Arsenal. He had 54 goals in 52 matches last season and 97 and 97 goals in 102 with the club, making him hopes for North London.
Anders Lympal has unique insights into the former Coventry striker who spent four years at Arsenal in the early 1990s and coached him when he was a young man at Sweden’s Bromaposicalna. Limpar has no doubt that Gyoker will hit the ground running on Mikel Arteta’s side.

“I know that almost every Arsenal player is a top expert,” he told Fotbolldirectorekt.se. “I’ve been to the training grounds that Arteta spoke to. He’s a 100% professional. That’s what you get from Viktor.
“When it comes to looking after him, it’s not a scandal, it’s the player’s hell. He’s No. 9 and can smell the chances of a goal. He’ll be the perfect icing for Arsenal’s cake.
“And I don’t need to look down at (Kai) Herberts, or (Gabriel) Jesus. But at this moment I bring Victor with him at his highest age and form. He is a scoring machine, with all the supplies from the wings and (Martin) Odegard.
Limpar was sure he was the missing part of the Jigsawpa and asked Arsenal to sign Gyoker for a while. “I know Gyoker personally. When he played for Brommapojkarna, Ludwig Augustinsson with him, I was a bit of a coaching coach. So I talked a lot about his professional life with him.”
“He’s a fantastically hardworking step forward that scores many goals. If you buy a gyoker (which was) at Arsenal, he definitely calls me. But to see gyoker at Arsenal, it’s crazy.
“When the other top forwards don’t work that hard for the team, they save energy and Victor never save his energy. When things are a little slow, he moves into the game with a run.
