Arsenal strike Viktor Gyokeres ‘agreement’ as Berta gets stunning double transfer boost
Arsenal have been given two positive updates as they chase a deadly new No 9, with the Gunners in ‘agreement’ over a transfer for Viktor Gyokeres and the price for Benjamin Sesko dropping, according to reports.
Arsenal have yet to announce their first arrival of the summer transfer window, though such confirmation is surely not far off. They agreed personal terms with Martin Zubimendi in January and have since activated the midfielder’s €60million (£51m / $70m) release clause at Real Sociedad.
There has been speculation that Real Madrid could try to scupper the move, but Zubimendi is understood to have passed his Arsenal medical and will soon link up with Mikel Arteta’s squad formally.
Sporting director Andrea Berta has also agreed deals to bring in fellow midfielder Christian Norgaard from Brentford – who will replace Thomas Partey – and Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
But the transfer Arsenal fans really want to see is that of a new striker, a position that has needed improving for several seasons.
