Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has been speaking about Viktor Gyokeres as the club try and thrash out the final details of the deal to sign the striker from Sporting Lisbon

Gyokeres was focused only on joining Arsenal and, despite late interest from elsewhere, he did not consider any other team.

But Arsenal are confident those issue are close to be resolved as they finally close in on the top-level striker that Mikel Arteta has been targeting. Gyokeres has agreed terms on a five-year contract at Arsenal,

Mikel Arteta said he was happy that Arsenal had signed a number of top-quality players in the early stages of the transfer window, and that they had given the Premier League club impetus to raise their level in the coming season.
