Arsenal sign striker Gyokeres from Sporting
Ammon News - Arsenal have signed Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting on a five-year deal, the Premier League club said on Saturday. Financial details on the transfer were not disclosed but British media reported Arsenal agreed to pay 55 million pounds ($73.89 million) fixed upfront fee plus around 8 million pounds in add-ons for the 27-year-old. "We're absolutely delighted to welcome Viktor Gyokeres to the club," coach Mikel Arteta said in a club statement. "The consistency he has shown in his performances and availability have been outstanding, and his goal contributions speak for themselves." Signing a striker had been a priority for Arsenal in the close-season, as Mikel Arteta looked to strengthen a squad that can get over the line in the title race after finishing runners-up in the last three Premier League seasons. Arsenal lacked a natural number nine for much of last season, finishing 10 points behind champions Liverpool and scoring 17 goals fewer. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz alternated up front until injuries sidelined them in January and February, leaving midfielder Mikel Merino to step in during the closing stages of the season. Gyokeres joined Sporting from Coventry City for around 20 million pounds in 2023. He has since scored 97 goals and registered 28 assists from 102 matches during his two seasons in Lisbon. Gyokeres helped Sporting win the league and the Portuguese Cup last season, when he scored 54 goals in 52 games in all competitions, including a hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League. The Sweden international, who spent a brief spell at Brighton & Hove Albion, will wear the number 14 shirt and will join up with the squad on their pre-season tour in Asia.

Howe confident Isak will stay at Newcastle despite transfer talk
Ammon News - Newcastle manager Eddie Howe insisted Saturday that Alexander Isak is still a Newcastle player despite speculation around a move to either Premier League champions Liverpool or Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Isak has not traveled with Newcastle for their pre-season tour of Asia, apparently because of a minor thigh injury, but Howe said the 25-year-old Swedish striker was a key part of his plans. 'Of course, there are always going to be things going on behind the scenes,' Howe told reporters in Singapore, where Newcastle play Arsenal on Sunday. 'He is aware he's in the news every day, which I'm sure is not easy for anyone in that situation. 'Conversations between Alex and the club or with me will stay private for obvious reasons. We do share a good relationship,' Howe added. Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, has been 'magnificent for us for as long as he has been with us,' said Howe. 'And he is very comfortable in the dressing room.' Isak did not travel with the Magpies after the thigh injury kept him out of Newcastle's friendly defeat to Celtic last week. 'He mentioned before the Celtic game that it would be very minimal and nothing too serious,' said Howe. 'But he left training very early and didn't feel right. So, he's now back in Newcastle getting that injury assessed.' Howe remained confident that Isak will be wearing black and white when the new season kicks off next month. 'I said after the game against Celtic that I was confident he would stay. I don't see anything that is going to change that opinion of mine at the moment. 'It's football,' he added. 'And who knows what the future may bring.' The Magpies ended their 70-year trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup and finished in fifth place in the Premier League last season to secure a return to the Champions League. 'I think once you've experienced that feeling of winning, you want it again. So, we want to do it again as soon as possible, in all the competitions we are in,' said Howe. 'We set the bar very high, and there's a lot of ambition within the team.' AFP
