Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that a move for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres could be close.
The Gunners have been involved in a drawn-out negotiation for Gyokeres, who is desperate to return to England.
Although there is a broad agreement over a £63m deal, the Portuguese champions are determined to ensure the add-ons are easily achievable.
Arteta was asked about the transfer after Arsenal landed in Singapore for a preseason tour.
He replied: “I cannot comment on any player who is not part of our group yet.”
On new signings joining the squad in Asia, Arteta added: “There’s still time in the window. In terms of numbers, we are short.”
