Viktor Gyokeres is looking for a move to Arsenal by any means necessary.

Gyokeres, 27, has been tipped to leave Sporting CP this summer and he's been linked to both Manchester United and the Gunners. However, in recent days reports have emerged that the Swede is looking more likely to make the switch to north London.

Reports in Portugal claim that Gyokeres won't be reporting to pre-season training and he has expressed his happiness to forego €2million (£1.73m) from his five-year Arsenal contract so the money can be used to increase the Gunners' bid to Sporting.

Gyokeres has also reportedly split from stunning model Ines Aguiar to keep nothing typing him to Lisbon amid his push to leave Sporting this summer.

Local reports suggest that Gyokeres and Ines went their separate ways before he jetted off to Greece for his summer holiday.

Ines went on holiday to the Spanish island Formentera and didn't join Gyokeres at the weddings of his team-mate Morten Hjulmand and Emilie Sofie Nissen, who she is said to be close to.

Gyokeres moved to Lisbon in 2023 and within months rumours started swirling that he had started dating the 26-year-old Portuguese beauty.

The brunette has appeared in various TV shows, and her twin sister, Joana, is also a star on screen.

The two had kept their relationship under wraps before a picture of them together at an airport last April sparked rumours.

It wasn’t until November that they went public, after she posted a video on her Instagram of Gyokeres scoring a penalty in the Champions League.

And back in May, she was spotted cheering from the stands, donning a Sporting strip, only to find herself quizzed by supporters at one point, with unsurprising queries about Gyokeres' future.

Portuguese publication A Bola reported that she assured fans in a widely shared clip that she "promises" to coax her partner into committing to a third season with the squad - but that plan has clearly now gone out the window.
