Gyokeres makes transfer decision
Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly told friends and family he will join Arsenal this summer.
The Sporting striker was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United to join up with former boss Ruben Amorim.
However, talkSPORT claim that Gyokeres expects to make the move to the Gunners, even though a fee has not yet been agreed.
While Gyokeres had hoped Sporting would accept around £60m, it’s believed they want closer to £80m for the 27-year-old.

They also say that Spurs are not yet out of the running for Manchester United target Bryan Mbeumo at Brentford.

Maresca confirms Chelsea stance on Madueke amid Arsenal links
Enzo Maresca says Chelsea have no plans to sell Noni Madueke amid transfer links with Arsenal.
The Gunners on Thursday were linked with interest in Madueke as the club continues to scour the transfer market for upgrades to their attacking line-up.
Madueke has reportedly been looked at as a summer window opportunity but, when asked for an update on the player's future, Maresca dismissed talk of an exit.
Maresca told reporters: "Noni is our player, you can read a lot of speculation at the moment but we consider Noni our player for the coming season."

Man Utd add Kean to transfer wishlist
Manchester United are weighing up a move for Fiorentina striker Moise Kean.
According to Florence newspaper Corriere Fiorentino, via Sport Witness, United are assessing options to bolster their attack and Kean is now of interest.
Kean has a €52m (£44.5m) release clause in his contract, which makes him significantly cheaper than Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.

Leverkusen close in on £35m Quansah signing
Bayer Leverkusen are closing in on the signing of Jarrel Quansah for at least £34million.
A staggering price for the Liverpool defender, who made just four Premier League starts last season after quickly losing his place under Arne Slot.
The Athletic report that Quansah is now expected to go in the opposite direction to Florian Wirtz, with club-to-club talks ongoing and personal terms not expected to be a problem.

Liverpool plot record Isak bid after Wirtz deal
Florian Wirtz might not stay as Liverpool’s record signing for very long.
The Reds evidently have grand plans for the future after winning the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s first season and would reportedly love to make headlines again by bringing in Alexander Isak.
GiveMeSport claim that Liverpool refuse to give up on the Newcastle striker - a long-term target for Arsenal - and are prepared to make another massive bid to smash the British transfer record for the second time in quick succession.
Isak is said to be Liverpool’s “dream target” as they plot an offer worth over £100m with add-ons, though they apparently acknowledge that such a deal will be difficult to pull off.
An exit for Darwin Nunez could reportedly help fund a move for Isak, while they add that Milos Kerkez will also arrive at Anfield next week.

Arsenal explore Madueke move
Arsenal are weighing up a move for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.
The Telegraph report that Madueke has not been put up for sale by the Blues but there is an understanding that the right bid could see the former Tottenham youngster depart.
Arsenal have taken a look at Madueke's situation as they scan the market for opportunities on the wing, having seen key target Nico Williams prefer a move to Barcelona or Bayern Munich.
Chelsea's interest in Jamie Gittens, which is expected to be revived, would push Madueke further down the pecking order.
