Viktor Gyokeres is 'furious with Sporting Lisbon for blocking his move to Arsenal' as transfer saga turns ugly

Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly fuming with Sporting Lisbon for holding up his departure from the club this summer.

The Swedish striker is one of the most in-demand strikers in Europe after flourishing in Portugal over the past two seasons, and had expected to get a transfer to the Premier League.

Gyokeres prefers a move to Arsenal over Manchester United, but his price-tag has become a major stumbling block for any deal.

It is understood that Gyokeres believes he reached a gentleman's agreement with Sporting last summer that would see the club accept a fee in the region of €70m (£60m) including add-ons at the end of the season.
