Arsenal will officially announce the signature of Viktor Gyoker from Sports CP, and will need to spend the summer of sports director Andrea Berta above the £200 million mark.

Arsenal has prepared to bid for Starr £55 million.
Andrea Berta is quickly moving on to his next target after Viktor Gyokeres.
Gyokeres is planning to join Gunners for an initial fee of around £55 million. This could increase to £64 million with add-ons (athletics), and Sweden International traveled to London this weekend for medical care.
The 27-year-old’s 54 goal at all competitions last season suggests that when everything goes to plan, Gyoker is worth every penny.
However, with contracts over Gyoker of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Maduke and Cristhian Mosquera, Berta has spent hundreds of millions of people trying to strengthen Atteta’s team.
If Arsenal also signed Crystal Palace playmaker Ebebeki Ez, and the Eagles reportedly support a £68 million release clause, the North Londoners could end up spending nearly £300 million on this transfer window.
Taking this into consideration, the fact that Arsenal currently boasts the third highest wage bill in the Premier League is that Berta’s next priority could seal some departures and attack Eze’s agreement.
With PSR remaining in the background, Top Flight Clubs are only allowed to lose around £105 million over three years of rolling. If Arsenal surpasses this limit, they face sanctions.
So far, there has been no indication that the club is in this real danger, but Berta still needs to monitor the club’s revenue/expenses.
Gabriel Jesus gives Flamengo a green light to leave Arsenal to prepare the offer
According to South American news outlet RTI eSporte, Flamengo is holding consultations with striker Gabriel Jesus, who are preparing to make a bold lending bid for the Brazilians.
Jesus clearly negotiated the move to Flamengo with a “green light” and if the move were to come true, the club would split his weekly wage of £265,000. Flamengo’s interest is not taking action now, despite the long layoffs of the former Man City star, Jesus is currently not taking action after maintaining an ACL rupture in Arsenal’s FA Cup defeat last season.
Once Gyoker arrives, the 28-year-old will have to compete with both Arsenal’s new signature and Kaihaberts.
Jesus enjoyed a purple-shaped patch under Arteta last season – after much criticism, he got six goals and all the competition from early December to January – his injury came at a very unfortunate time.
