IN REVIEW: Victor Gyokeres joins Arsenal from Sporting CP
Arsenal have signed centre forward Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP for a €63.5million (£54.8m, $74.2m) fixed upfront fee plus €10m (£8.6m, $11.7m) in add-ons.
The 27-year-old has signed a five-year contract at the Emirates.
Born in Stockholm, Viktor started his career with IF Brommapojkarna, where he developed through their youth academy, scoring 32 goals in 31 appearances at under-19 and under-21 levels, and making his senior debut as a 17-year-old.
In January 2018, the clinical goalscorer joined Brighton & Hove Albion, during which time he enjoyed loan spells at Swansea City, St. Pauli and Coventry City, moving to the Sky Blues permanently in 2021 and helping them to the Championship Play Off final in 2023.
Gyokeres returns to England with a significantly higher profile after his first arrival. He joined Brighton & Hove Albion aged 19 in 2018 from Swedish side Brommapojkarna, but only made a handful of cup appearances. After loans to St Pauli, Swansea City, and Coventry City, he moved permanently to the latter in 2021. After scoring 17 goals in the Championship in his first season, he netted 21 league goals in 2022-23.
