Arsenal are looking to secure the signing of Viktor Gyokeres before the club fly away to Asia for their preseason tour, football.london understands. This is what Mikel Arteta is hoping for, and the reality is that Andrea Berta is about to reignite negotiations with Sporting CP to try and find an agreement.

Arsenal have signed Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard in recent weeks, while Noni Madueke is also set to join the Gunners. Arguably the highest priority for Arsenal is a new centre-forward, and Viktor Gyokeres is currently in pole position for the role.
