Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon remain locked in talks over a deal for Viktor Gyokeres and the saga over the striker's future is now said to be affecting the player and his family

The Gunners are closing in on their fifth signing of the summer transfer window as a deal for the Swedish striker worth an initial €63.5million (£54.86m) plus a further €10m (£8.64m) in add-ons is in place. Though the hold up is reportedly due to a debate ongoing over the nature and structure of the bonuses included.

The stalemate has reportedly devastated Gyokeres’ family who feel the 26-year-old is doing everything he can to get the move over the line. His father Stefan ‘burst into tears’ and was left emotionally distraught over the weekend, now believing move will not go through, according to Maisfutebol.
