Arsenal agreed £63.8m deal to sign Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres; Sweden international has been Arsenal’s primary focus in the transfer window after previously being linked with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko; Gunners to pay a £55.1m guaranteed fee, plus £8.7m in add-ons
The 27-year-old is expected to take a medical in London to finalise the move before flying out to join up with the squad for their pre-season tour of Asia.
Arsenal are set to pay a £55.1m (€63.5m) fixed fee plus £8.7m (€10m) in add-ons.
Sporting are expecting to receive £1.09m for every 20 matches Gyokeres plays for Arsenal with a limit of up to £4.36m and £430,000 for every 20 goals or assists he contributes up to £873,000.
Each time Arsenal qualify for the Champions League, Sporting are expecting to receive £873,000 up to a limit of £3.5m.
Negotiations around the bonuses dragged on for more than a week until there was a breakthrough earlier this week.
