Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres appears to have confirmed he could be closing in on a move to Arsenal this summer while speaking to former teammate Leo Ostigard on FaceTime.

The Portuguese top-flight club have reportedly turned down a £59 million bid from Arsenal for Gyokeres, and it remains to be seen if they will return with a better offer in the coming days if the claims are true.
Signing such a quality and proven hitman could be all that is standing between the Gunners and a first Premier League title since 2004, and they need to get a deal done if they are serious about winning major silverware soon after going five campaigns without one
