Arsenal refuses to lose focus as Victor Gyoker’s deal enters its latest stages, despite Lisbon’s sports efforts to light the late drama offering Manchester United a way out in the race.

Swedish striker has been at the center of a long transfer saga but Arsenal Resources have remained calm and steady in their message that the deal is ready.

The noise about the sudden United involvement has raised his eyebrows, but says more about the sporting strategy than any real threat to Arsenal position.

With the Portuguese club keeping the maximum value, they have invited late interest in an attempt to raise the price or regulate the terms of payment in their favor.

United They have really approached a final opportunity to enter the race, but the reality is less dramatic than it may seem.

While Ruben Amorim has continued admiration for GykeresUnited have not seen the 27-year-old as a major advantage since Arsenal began to push hard for a deal in June.

They are also not in a strong financial position to move at the speed that sporting is likely to require. Gyoker release clause and payment structure would require front clarity, something Arsenal has already worked accurately.

This clarity has come carefully. Arsenal is known to be meticulous about how to structure payments, especially under the financial parameters in which they operate inside.

Delays in the end of the Gyokeres movement are not in the absence of an agreement between the player and the club, but are related to small but important pay.

Sporting, as always, are riding a strong bargain and it is understood that Arsenal has been leaving in areas where they feel compromise is possible.

However, the key is the player – and Gykeres has given Arsenal his word he wants to play for Mikel Artessa.

His absence from Arsenal’s pre-season tournament in Asia is disappointing as plans have been on the move for him to start his head in Arsenal style integration.

The arts wanted his new No. 9 in the country while they landed in Singapore this week, but without it there is no panic. Sources insist that the deal is in the final stages and you see it as a positive sign that Gyokeres remains steadfast in his commitment to join them.

The first Arsenal match of the season is against Manchester United. Inside, there is a quiet confidence that the Gyokers will continue to line up in Arsenal colors at Old Trafford.
