Viktor Gyokeres' potential move to Arsenal is on an impasse, catching the eye of Arsenal supporters amid his potential move to the North London club.

The Sweden international has been linked all summer with a move to Arsenal, and as per reports, he is on the verge of joining the North London club.

Gyokeres is also adamant to join the Gunners, which resulted in him not attending Sporting CP training ahead of the start of the season. He has been desperate to switch clubs but Sporting and Arsenal are still negotiating for the amount.

Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal: What is the Current Situation?

As per reports, the situation is tense as the two clubs are at an impasse on the add-ons amount. The Portuguese club has demanded a straightforward €10 million, but the Gunners are mulling over the terms.

As per Chris Wheatley, Arsenal offered a €3 million add-on with easier terms, while keeping €7 million with more complicated terms. But Sporting CP have rejected that and are expecting a fresh offer from the Gunners.

Many reports from Portugal suggest that the situation is tense between the two clubs and the potential deal can collapse, which will be a big blow for the player. Sporting president Frederico Varandas recently sent a huge warning to the player after he didn't join the Sporting training.

"We're calm. Everything will be resolved with the closing of the market, a heavy fine, and an apology to the group," Varandas told the Lusa news agency last week.

"If they (interested clubs) don't want to pay fair market value for Viktor, we are very comfortable with that for the next three years," he added.

Gyokeres is hugely admired at Arsenal and the Premier League giants are also keen in signing the Swedish ahead of their pre-season tour to Asia. Arsenal have already signed Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard from Real Sociedad and Brentford respectively, while Kepa Arrizabalaga also joined from Chelsea. The Gunners are closing in on Christhian Mosquera from Valencia, while Noni Madueke is also set to join them from Chelsea.
