Viktor Gyokeres’s father in tears as Arsenal transfer faces collapse

According to Mais Futebol, Viktor Gyokeres’s transfer from Sporting CP to Arsenal is on the verge of collapse — the player’s father reportedly broke down in tears upon learning of the situation.

Despite reaching personal terms with Arsenal, the Swedish national team striker’s transfer process has hit a roadblock over payment issues — both clubs have yet to find common ground on the transfer structure.

Sporting CP has set Gyokeres’s price at 80 million euros with payment split into two installments — the player is even willing to reduce part of his salary to facilitate the move to Emirates Stadium.
