ARSENAL are closing in on £69million striker Viktor Gyokeres after a removal van was spotted moving furniture from his luxury Lisbon home.
The Sporting star is after going on strike at his Portuguese club.
Gyokeres has refused to return for pre-season training after Sporting
But it’s reckoned that are now just £4m away from sealing a deal.
And Gyokeres appears to be set on moving to Emirates after packing up his belongings in Lisbon.
A photograph has circulated showing a removal van taking away various pieces of furniture at Gyokeres’ luxury pad.
He is thought to have remained in Sweden after telling Sporting he was not returning to Portugal.
And internet sleuths also picked up on a private jet leaving Stockholm for London this morning after a last-minute booking.
There is no indication that the jet was indeed carrying Gyokeres.
But Arsenal fans were quick to jump to conclusions as they drooled over the prospect of finally signing a new striker.
One said: “Stockholm syndrome.”;
Another declared: “Welcome to the biggest team in the world.”;
One noted: “Heading to Arsenal.”;
Another added: “God bless internet Arsenal fans.”;
Meanwhile, Arsenal remain in the hunt for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
That’s despite reported interest from rivals Chelsea.
However, it’s reckoned the Blues have made Eze’s England teammate
But Aston Villa want at least £80m for the forward, while Eze would be a slightly cheaper option.
