Arsenal have been told Viktor Gyökeres will be their player once his asking price is met – with the Sporting Lisbon striker going on strike to force through his move to the Emirates Stadium.

Although, A Bola reported that Gyokeres had no intention of turning up to training on Saturday unless he had a ‘last minute change of heart. Such action was always going to risk disciplinary action from his current club and that has been confirmed by Sporting president Frederico Varandas.

Sporting CP have warned Arsenal they will not be forced into selling Viktor Gyokeres after confirming the striker will be disciplined for failing to turn up for pre-season training. Gyokeres was asked to join up with the Sporting squad before 5pm on Saturday before they set off for their pre-season camp in the Algarve.
