The 27-year-old Swede signs a five-year contract with Arsenal
That one piece of news we've all been waiting for finally has the label 'breaking' attached to it!
Arsenal have completed the signing of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres for €73 million.
The 27-year-old Sweden international has signed a five-year deal with the Gunners after the move was slightly held up because of negotiations between the clubs over add-on payments.
This is where you need to be.

The final sum comprises an €63m transfer fee plus 10m euros in add-ons.
Gunners sporting director Andrea Berta flew to Lisbon to lead negotiations with the Portuguese club.
Gyokeres failed to report back at Sporting for pre-season earlier this month, and the club's president, Frederico Varandas, said the player would face disciplinary action.

Before Gyokeres, Arsenal had already brought Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, and Cristhian Mosquera.
"Viktor has so many qualities. He is a quick and powerful presence up front, with incredible goalscoring numbers at club and international levels," said Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.
"He brings a clinical edge with a high conversion rate of chances into goals, with his intelligent movement in the box making him a constant threat.
"We're excited about what Viktor brings to our squad and are looking forward to starting to work with him."
