🚨 Sporting Lisbon confirm agreement in principle reached for Viktor Gyokeres switch to Arsenal. Deal worth €63.5m guaranteed + €10m add-ons & 27yo striker’s agent waives fee to help facilitate move 🚨

Here we go!

I still have some reservations about Gyorkeres. I don't think he's going to be banging in goals like Haaland or Isak (hopefully I'm wrong!). But I think he'll do okay. Even at 27, he seems like a big if a rough diamond. Hopefully the coaching team can polish him up a bit more. Either way, it will certainly be good to have a more direct striker option who attacks the balls instead of more possibly finding pockets to receive a pass.

"striker's agent waives fee to help facilitate move"

That's how you know this isn't true.

Ok, maybe he's getting paid some other way, but there's no way that an agent is just going to pass on €3-6 million.
