Arsenal handed €60m Viktor Gyokeres boost as clause in contract is revealed

A Bola in Portugal report that from July 1, any offer of €60m for Gyokeres that Sporting reject would see the club have to pay €6m to the player's agent. That stipulation could mean a deal moves fast if any club can hit that figure.

The same report goes on to state that "Arsenal are willing to reach this value". The Gunners have been on the hunt for a new number nine all summer and this development could see the Swede move to the top of the queue.

Mikel Arteta's side were previously said to be closing in on a deal for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, though negotiations have proved difficult. They are also reportedly back in the mix for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike.

Arsenal will be keen to get a new striker in the door in time for the beginning of the new Premier League campaign, which they kick off against Manchester United on Sunday August 17.
