Viktor Gyökeres is nearing a €73.5 million move to Arsenal. While his impressive goal-scoring record and relentless running are enticing, questions remain about his aerial ability and Premier League readiness.

Gyökeres has made it abundantly clear that he has no desire to return to Sporting, having refused to report for pre-season, while Sporting president Frederico Varandas has insisted he is happy to fine Gyökeres and keep him at the club if Arsenal do not meet their demands.
