A deal for the 27-year-old striker is not done as discussions continue over the fee — but the situation is progressing towards a conclusion.

Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly willing to give up a chunk of his wages to push for a move to Arsenal.

Gyokeres has given up €2m ‘that were part of his salary package, planned for the five seasons of his contract with the Gunners, so that the aforementioned amount could be used to increase to 65 million euros the fixed amount of the new proposal that the English club put on the table.’
