Arsenal are reportedly making progress over the transfer of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres this summer.
The Gunners have identified the Sweden international as their priority striker target and talks are advancing with Sporting.
The club had stalled over the past week due to differences over the add-ons, but they are now making progress as things stand.
Fabrizio Romano reports that positive talks were held on Monday and a transfer could be formalised in the next few days.
Gyokeres has also received offers from several elite clubs, but the striker is fully determined to join the Gunners this summer.
Arsenal are presently in Singapore for the pre-season tour and they are expected to face AC Milan in their opening friendly.
Manager Mikel Arteta will hope that Gyokeres can join the club as soon as possible so that he can train with his new teammates.
The Swede has been working on his individual fitness on his own, having refused to return to training at the Portuguese giants.
