The Swedish striker Viktor Gyokerres did not show up for the training of pre-season with Sporting Lisbon while he seeks to pass through a transfer to Arsenal.
The 27-year-old was not present for the start of the pre-season with Sporting today, according to a report by COME FUTEBOL.
This follows Fabrizio Romano who reports on his YouTube channel that Gykerres was categorical, he wanted to leave the Portuguese club to move to Arsenal.
Romano has also clearly indicated that Gyokerres did not intend to come back to train with Sporting again or play again for them.
It now seems that it has happened, and arsenal fans hope that this means that an agreement is about to be concluded.
Viktor Gyokerres does his best to force the transfer of Arsenal
It seems that Gyokerres does his best to force the sport to let him join Arsenal.
The former man of Coventry City has also apparently abandoned part of his Sporting salary to help pay his way to the club, according to the file.

The message of Gyokerres could not really be much clearer: he wants to get out of sport, and it seems that Arsenal is his dream destination.
In another article on YouTube, Romano also said that Gyokerres had informed Manchester United of his preference to join Arsenal.
Arsenal reconstructs their attack
In addition to a new striker, we were able to see several midfielder signatures attacked for Arsenal this summer.
While Gyokerres will be responsible for finishing the chances, it may be the fact by Noni Madueke and Ebelechi Eze.
Arsenal expected to approach Crystal Palace to officially discuss Ebelechi Eze. Palace striker always high #AfcThought, as revealed.

According to Ben Jacobs in post X above, the arsenal movement to sign Madueke de Chelsea is separated from their interest in the star of Crystal Palace Eze.
Madueke should provide coverage on the right or left flank, allowing Mikel Arteta to rotate Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli a little more often.
Eze, on the other hand, can play on the left or in a more central role, perhaps giving the AFC an alternative to Martin Odegaard after his slight decrease in form last season.
