Viktor Gyokeres reportedly set up a company in London almost two weeks before his move to Arsenal was finalised.
The Gunners' interest in the prolific Swede had been obvious from the start of the summer window, but negotiations over a deal went on for weeks.
Amid interest from rivals Manchester United, the delays must have left Arsenal supporters wondering whether they'd ever finalise a deal, let alone complete a transfer in time for next season.
But it seems for the man himself the move was never in-doubt, as Gyokeres registered a new London-based promotions company 10 days before he signed on the dotted line on July 26, according to The Times.
