Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas has insisted that Viktor Gyökeres will face fines after he went on strike Saturday and refused to report to preseason training.
ESPN reported on Monday that Gyökeres was close to a move to Arsenal after a breakthrough in talks with Sporting. He has also been subject to interest from Manchester United this summer, although they have prioritised a move for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo.
Sources told ESPN that Gyökeres had agreed personal terms with Arsenal over a five-year deal after the club's sporting director Andrea Berta flew out to Portugal for direct talks.
