Mikel Arteta often stresses his desire for Arsenal to be “unpredictable” in how they set up - and the signings of Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres will certainly help that. Gyokeres, who scored a remarkable 54 goals in 52 games for Sporting last season, offers an alternative option up front to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Gyökeres has made it abundantly clear that he has no desire to return to Sporting, having refused to report for pre-season, while Sporting president Frederico Varandas has insisted he is happy to fine Gyökeres and keep him at the club if Arsenal do not meet their demands.

Arsenal to accelerate transfer plans after Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera join Arsenal will accelerate their attempts to get players out the door as they close in on the £130million triple signing of Cristhian Mosquera, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres.
