VIKTOR GYOKERES has been given extra time to report for training with Sporting Lisbon.
But the Arsenal and target is still set to go on strike.
have told Swedish international Gyokeres, who was due to report for training tomorrow, he now has until Friday to meet up with the squad.
The same applies to other players who have been on international duty.
That includes Danish international Conrad Harder and Portuguese Under-21 winger Geovany Quenda, .
They were also due to report tomorrow but late Saturday night were handed an extra four days off ahead of the club travelling to the Algarve at the weekend for a pre-season training camp.
Gyokeres has once again indicated to Sporting officials that he is unlikely to report for training and he wants a move from the club, preferably although United and Juventus are also interested.
He is angry that his club has broken a gentleman’s agreement that he could leave for £60million.
Sporting, knowing there is massive interest in their star striker, are now demanding at least £68.5m.
Club president Frederico Varandas, who has had a public falling out with the former Coventry forward, had hoped that was bluffing and that he would return to training but this now seems unlikely.
Gyokeres, 27, a £20m signing from in 2023, has scored 97 goals in 102 appearances for Sporting.
Gyokeres has turned down offers from Saudi Pro League sides Al-Hilal and Al-Qadisiyah.
And the centre-forward would prefer to play in the Premier League.
