Arsenal are close to finalising a deal with Sporting to sign Sweden forward Viktor Gyokeres. The two clubs have been negotiating for more than a week with discussions now at an advanced stage and an agreement close. Arsenal's most recent proposal for the 27-year-old totals about 70m euros (£60m) including add-ons.

Arsenal are set to submit a new £17m bid for Cristhian Mosquera after completing a controversial move for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. Following a subdued start to the summer transfer window, Arsenal have bolstered Mikel Arteta ’s squad with the signings of Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
