Arsenal ready to sign Viktor Gyokeres after transfer stipulation revealed

Arsenal may finally have the green light to go after their top striker target — and it’s coming straight from the fine print.
The Gunners are pushing hard to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, and a key clause in the Swedish forward’s contract could now help seal the deal.
Reports in Portugal (via A Bola) say that from July 1, any €60 million ($64.3m) bid Sporting reject would cost the club €6 million in agent fees.
For a team looking to balance the books, that’s the kind of extra charge that could turn a firm “no” into a quick “maybe.”
Arsenal are said to be ready to match that €60m figure, which could shift the momentum fast. The club has been chasing a new No. 9 all summer.
They were interested in Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, but talks hit a wall. Now, with the season approaching — and a mouthwatering opener against Manchester United on August 17 — Mikel Arteta wants his striker in place soon.
