Arsenal are on the verge of landing their long-awaited No.9 as Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres edges closer to completing a blockbuster move from Sporting CP.

According to multiple sources and Fabrizio Romano, the “here we go” is imminent—possibly just hours or days away. The Gunners have made significant strides in negotiations with Sporting over the weekend, with the total fee expected to be around €80 million.

The 26-year-old Gyökeres, who had a sensational season in Portugal, is reportedly refusing to return to training with Sporting, making it crystal clear that he only wants to join Arsenal. His desire to play Champions League football under Mikel Arteta has driven the deal forward, despite initial resistance from Sporting’s president.

A full contract agreement has already been reached between Arsenal and Gyökeres’ camp, with a long-term deal and salary package accepted. Director Edu Gaspar and agent André Albert have been in constant communication to finalize details.

This is a massive coup for Arsenal, who have been searching for a dominant, physical striker capable of leading the line—and it looks like Gyökeres is their man.

More to follow as the final fee negotiations wrap up. Stay tuned, Gunners. The new No.9 is almost here. 🔴⚪💥
