Arsenal fans sent into meltdown over Viktor Gyokeres deal after spotting cryptic Instagram clue

Arsenal fans are convinced Ethan Nwaneri has dropped a major hint about the future of Viktor Gyokeres after seeing what he posted on Instagram.

Gyokeres' future has been the hot topic of this year's transfer window, with the Swede finding it difficult to escape Lisbon despite scoring 97 goals in 102 matches over the previous two seasons.

The saga looked to be finally coming to a close with the Gunners closing in on a deal with the Portuguese club, with The Athletic reporting there is a proposed five-year contract on the table at The Emirates.

However, new reports in Portugal via The Daily Mail have claimed negotiations have now stalled with Arsenal representatives returning from Lisbon after failed talks with Sporting.

A report from A BOLA also claims that Arsenal are ready to walk away from negotiations and focus on other targets.

The Swede is so desperate to complete his transfer to the Premier League he has even offered to give up a significant chunk of his salary to facilitate a move.

“Viktor Gyökeres has agreed to give up €2m from his salary in order to facilitate negotiations between Arsenal and Sporting,” Fabrizio Romano wrote.

However, some fans aren't as optimistic about the hidden meaning behind the youngster's post.
