Viktor Gyokeres is closing in on a move to Arsenal
Arsenal are juggling multiple balls in the transfer market as pre-season looms, with negotiations ongoing for a headline-grabbing deal for Sporting Lisbon's frontman, Viktor Gyokeres.
The 27-year-old Swedish has risen to the top of Arsenal's striker wish list. However, the Gunners are still locked in talks with Sporting CP after failing to strike a deal with the Portuguese club's chiefs during face-to-face discussions over the weekend.
In other news, Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga have been officially announced as new additions to the Arsenal squad, with Christian Norgaard expected to be revealed as the latest signing soon.
A left winger is still on the cards, along with a potential surprise raid for Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze if the Gunners' budget can stretch that far. Here, Daily Star Sport brings you all the freshest transfer gossip from The Emirates...

An Arsenal team led by Andrea Berta jetted off to Portugal late last week in an attempt to seal the deal for the ex-Coventry City star. However, the club's offer of €65m (£56m) plus an additional €15m (£12.9m) in add-ons hasn't swayed the Portuguese champions.
According to The Independent, Sporting are holding out for a guaranteed €70m before any add-ons, leading to the current deadlock.

Arsenal have reportedly reached out to Chelsea regarding a potential swoop for Noni Madueke, according to The Athletic.
The 23-year-old England ace has popped up on Arsenal's radar this summer as they hunt for more firepower upfront. It was unveiled last week that Madueke and the Gunners have already shaken hands on personal terms.
Now, the Gunners have initiated talks with their London rivals about the specifics of a possible transfer for Madueke, who carries a price tag of roughly £50m from the Blues.
