The media revealed that Arsenal will soon finalize a transfer agreement with Portugal Sports for 73.5 million euros (£63.5 million) and sign Swedish striker Victor Yorke. All parties are working hard to complete the signing as soon as possible so that Yorke can travel to Asia with the Gunners this weekend for preseason.
The two clubs have been negotiating for more than a week, and the negotiations have now entered the later stage. Sources revealed that the transfer agreement has also been reached, and only specific details are left to be finalized. The offer is higher than the Gunners' previous offer of €70 million (£60 million) which includes additional terms.
27-year-old Yorkress has agreed with the Gunners on a five-year contract, so the transfer procedures will be completed quickly once the specific details of the inter-club agreement are agreed.
BBC Sports revealed earlier this month that they have turned their attention to Yorke after Arsenal's plan to sign Sesco from RB Leipzig reached a deadlock. Gunners Sports Director Berta flew to Lisbon last weekend to negotiate with Portugal in person.
