Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Arsenal are ‘not done yet’ in the market after signing Viktor Gyokeres.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Gunners finally managed to reach a full agreement to sign the Sporting CP striker after weeks of tough negotiations. The Portuguese giants had allegedly reneged on an agreement to let Gyokeres leave for €70 million this summer, delaying his move.
Thanks to Gyokeres forcefully pushing for the transfer to Arsenal and his agent forfeiting his commission, the Premier League giants managed to agree a deal that will see them pay €63.5m upfront and a further €10m in potential bonuses.
Gyokeres will sign a five-year contract with the Gunners after completing his medical and then join up with Mikel Arteta’s squad, which is currently on a pre-season tour of Asia.
With the signing of Gyokeres finally wrapped up, Arsenal have at last managed to fix their biggest priority of the summer: securing a prolific No.9. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, there is still more business to be done at the Emirates.
Romano: Arsenal not done yet
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the transfer insider revealed that Arsenal are ‘not done yet’ when it comes to potential incomings. Spanish defender Cristhian Mosquera is currently on his way to Singapore to join up with Arteta and company.
However, Romano believes that there could also yet be more movement on the attacking front, despite the €60 million outlay on Noni Madueke and Ethan Nwaneri’s new long-term contract.
Heading into the summer, Arsenal were keen to sign a new left-winger, but it is now thought that such an arrival would require an outgoing in that position. Arsenal have held talks with Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace, and the England star could play on the left if needed.
“For Arsenal, all the pieces of the transfer window are going to the right place,” Romano said. “Don’t forget that there is still the possibility for Arsenal… to add one more offensive player.
“Eberechi Eze remains a strong option. They had very good contacts with the player’s camp already weeks ago. Waiting to see when and if they will approach Crystal Palace. Don’t forget Arsenal also appreciate Xavi Simons, but Chelsea are really pushing on that one at the moment.
“But for sure, Arsenal are not done on the market, and I think there could also be more things to keep an eye on in case there will be some outgoings. So let’s wait and see.
“For Arsenal, these days were really important in the Gyokeres saga, and they got it done. So now let’s wait and see, and at that point,t we will understand more on the next movements for Arsenal. But I can say that I don’t think Arsenal are done in the market yet.”
