Viktor Gyokeres has plundered goals at Sporting Lisbon and his former mentor - and ex-Arsenal player - Anders Limpar is convinced he will continue his exploits in north London

The report adds that Gyokeres’ contract with Arsenal, which will run until 2030, has already been prepared. Manchester United had been offered the chance again to sign Gyokeres after talks between Arsenal and Sporting stalled, however, the 27-year-old made it clear that Mikel Arteta’s side was the only destination he wanted.

Despite agreeing the basic framework of a move for Gyökeres weeks ago, Arsenal and Sporting found themselves butting heads over the nature of the add-ons proposed by the Gunners, which invited pressure of a potential hijack from long-term admirers Manchester United.
