The Gunners remain calm over Gyokeres but are growing frustrated with Sporting’s refusal to compromise, as talks over a summer move continue to stall.

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up the possibility of excusing summer transfer target Viktor Gyokeres from their pre-season tour - should they fail to strike an agreement. The Gunners continue to negotiate with Sporting CP over the blockbuster signing of the talisman but may be forced into a decision,

The stalemate has reportedly devastated Gyokeres’ family who feel the 26-year-old is doing everything he can to get the move over the line. His father Stefan ‘burst into tears’ and was left emotionally distraught over the weekend, now believing move will not go through, according to Maisfutebol.
