Hello and welcome to the football.london Arsenal transfer live blog on Monday, July 21.
Talks to sign Viktor Gyokeres continue at a very advanced stage, but the deal remains incomplete. However, the Gunners are remaining calm about the situation. They have already agreed a €63.5m (£55m) fee, with €10m (£8.7m) in add-ons.
However, negotiations continue about how achievable the latter aspects are, with Sporting CP driving a hard bargain. As for other potential signings, it is understood that Xavi Simons has been considered, but Eberechi Eze would be preferred and is an option for the Gunners.
The former would be believed to be a cheaper deal than the England international, with Crystal Palace still standing firm on the £67.5m release clause being met. Rodrygo also continues to be linked with Arsenal.
With that being said, stay right with us on football.london as we bring you all the latest Arsenal news and transfer rumours...

Arsenal chip away at Gyokeres deal
football.london understands that Arsenal remain calm in the race to sign Viktor Gyokeres. The Gunners are hoping to wrap up a deal for the Sporting striker before the new Premier League season gets underway next month.
It's understood that negotiations with the Portuguese champions are at the final stages; this week's talks were centered around the structure of the add-ons. Arsenal have agreed to pay €63.5m (£55m), plus €10m (£8.7m) in add-ons, in principle.
Now, the two clubs must decide how those add-ons will be achieved...
