Arsenal’s pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres has taken a dramatic turn, with the Sporting striker escalating tensions by issuing a legal letter to his club. Gyokeres, frustrated by Sporting president Frederico Varandas’ alleged refusal to honour a supposed gentleman’s agreement, is now formally challenging the club through his legal team. The Swedish striker claims he was promised a transfer if a €60m plus €10m offer came in — a claim Sporting denies.
Gyokeres, already on strike and refusing to train, insists he will never play for Sporting again, prompting the club to begin disciplinary measures. Despite the messy standoff, reports suggest Arsenal remain confident of landing the forward soon.
Meanwhile, Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães has addressed rumours linking him with a Saudi move, clarifying he never received any formal offers. Gabriel reaffirmed his commitment to Arsenal, stressing his focus remains on achieving his ambitions at the Emirates.
