Sporting Lisbon fans send blunt Viktor Gyokeres message - as wantaway forward edges closer to £62.4m Arsenal move

Sporting Lisbon fans have issued their response to wantaway forward Viktor Gyokeres as the Swedish star edges closer to a £62.4m move to Arsenal.

Gyokeres has been determined to secure a switch to the Premier League this summer, with Mikel Arteta's side having been his preferred destination.

Protracted negotiations between the sides has led to Gyokeres failing to return to pre-season training with Sporting last Friday.

Sporting president Frederico Varandas threatened Gyokeres with disciplinary action, with the Swedish international appearing likely to damage his reputation at the club, despite two stunning seasons helping them earn back-to-back league titles.
