I don't get the hype really. He's hardly set the Bundesliga alight and that is a notoriously easy league to score goals in.
Plus Arsenal need a central striker who will hit the ground running and Vik is more likely to do that IMO
I’m 90% sure he’s still moving, the noise now is just posturing to try and drive the fee up/down.
He obviously wants out and someone will pay up. Might even end up at man united after all.
Because he’s 27 and never actually played in one of the big leagues, and Sporting probably want £70m for him.
Clubs are probably looking at the likes of Darwin Nunez, Gonçalo Ramos, Joao Felix etc. who haven’t really justified the fees.

Normally I would assume this would get sorted but it seems to be dragging on and UEFA not offering any compromises. Would be a huge shame for them.
