Arsenal<\/a> are edging closer to a deal worth in the region of \u20ac73 million ($86m) for Sporting CP<\/a> striker Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/a>, sources have told ESPN.<\/p>\n

ESPN reported<\/a> earlier this month that a deal for Gy\u00f6keres was close, and the two sides have since been locked in negotiations.<\/p>\n

Sources have told ESPN the delay is due to disagreements over the details of the performance-related add-ons involved.<\/p>\n

Sporting are willing to accept an initial fee of approximately \u20ac63m with a further \u20ac10m in add-ons but want what they perceive as more attainable triggers for the extra payments.<\/p>\n

However, sources suggest the deal is edging towards a positive conclusion and there remains optimism the 27-year-old could complete his move in time to join up with the Gunners on their preseason tour to Asia.<\/p>\n

The deal is likely to move quickly once a final agreement is reached with Sporting as Gy\u00f6keres has already agreed personal terms and a five-year contract with Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Gy\u00f6keres has scored 97 goals in 102 matches for Sporting, who have won back-to-back Primeira Liga titles.<\/p>\n

Cristhian Mosquera<\/a> has arrived in Singapore to complete his move from Valencia<\/a> after the two clubs agreed a deal worth an initial \u20ac15m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal are edging closer to a deal worth in the region of \u20ac73 million ($86m) for Sporting CP…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-15809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
