Key day' for Arsenal transfer talks as strike begins to force Sporting exit - Saturday could see big movement on the striker’s future

Manchester United transfer target Viktor Gyokeres feels he has a point to prove in the Premer League and has described a possible return to England as "great revenge". The Sweden international is facing an uncertain future at Sporting CP following a superb campaign in Portugal where he guided the Lisbon club to a league and cup double.

Viktor Gyökeres has revealed his admiration for three of Arsenal’s top stars as he continues to wait for Sporting CP to grant him a transfer to the Emirates Stadium.

It was reported earlier in June that Gyokeres had "officially" rejected United and a reunion with former Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim following Arsenal making their interest clear.

The Athletic reports that the 27-year-old, who was given an extended break by Sporting CP in the hope of resolving his future, has made it clear to the club's president, Frederico Varandas, that he will not play for the Portuguese outfit again.

Arsenal have been pushing to sign Gyokeres, but despite holding talks over the last few weeks, an agreement has not been reached. The Gunners are hoping that will change now. TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, understands that Arsenal are hoping to finalise an agreement with Sporting Lisbon for Viktor Gyokeres this weekend.

The disgruntled Sporting CP forward, who has drawn interest from Arsenal and Manchester United in the transfer market as he looks to split from his current club, is reported to have broken up with Portuguese girlfriend Ines Aguiar as he looks to leave ties to Portugal behind.
