A long term investment that will end with the same result, is like Arteta doesn't have a better plans for the Gunners, no bright future. Madueke isn't good for Arsenal to go for him and the way Chelsea allowed him go says it all. When he first joined the Blues without getting that game time, he wanted to leave while complaining and as soon as they start giving him that opportunity it got into his head, a regular starter that felt he can't be replaced and the impact is nothing to write home about. The painful part was that Arteta didn't hesitate on this Madueke's deal, not even up to a week or two and the next thing he's wear jersey number 20 but look at how long is taking him to secure a deal with Sporting CP for Viktor Gyökeres, what a shame.

Is Barcelona going to add more pains to the young man's life or should I call it regret? If Flick thinks Rashford isn't going to be a started they should have left him to hang on what Manchester United are going to feed him with, he's a baller and a starter...after all Barcelona have better players on the pitch and on the bench as well so why make Rashford a player to call "IF" ("if someone is injured or unavailable he can play")? I still wonder why Aston Villa didn't go for the English man before now after all he did better for the club last campaign and as for him playing for Barcelona or should I say him sitting on the bench for Barcelona, I don't think he'll have anything big to show or convince them that he deserves to start for the team, we might see less of him next season but if he knows about this development and agrees with it then he's the one who choose to be a bench starter that isn't sure of starting 25 games next season.

Madueke is an incredible player no doubt but I don't think he is what the Gunners need at the moment and up till now I haven't figure it out how or what made Arteta to look in that direction of buying the player. You have more than 3 wingers and you still go for Madueke or is Saka's time running up at Arsenal? Those areas needs better challenge like adding Rodrygo from Madrid instead.
There's no harm in expanding the squad ahead of the very busy season but how are they going to manage with a player who's almost like Martinelli in all aspects only that Madueke knows when to release the ball except he hasn't activated that side of him being all about himself while Martinelli don't know what to do with the in a one on one situation. I might be wrong at the end of everything about Madueke but I wish to see him convince I and all the Arsenal fans that he is better for the team.

Congratulations mate...

Kai has been up to speed when he started playing the role of an attacker with the goals he scored, he tried honestly and that alone gave Arsenal that hope of getting far as to winning the EPL title but luck wasn't on their side like we know and as soon as injury came the ball game changed for Arsenal which is normal for ever other team, if you don't have a better replacement things will never do well as far as the EPL is concerned.
Kai Havertz doesn't have that speed and strength to take on defenders and many of the defenders are not too worried about Havertz whenever he's with the ball, talking about the defenders even if he's a bit tricky. Is only few defenders that are worried but when we talk about Viktor Gyökeres things will definitely change and the EPL defenders will have that fear of not exposing their defense. For me I'd say Arteta have one more shot at getting a title for the club and let's see how he'll perform this coming season.

The Gunners will do better with Viktor Gyökeres in their squad and when it comes to those important crosses that we hardly see anyone to convert it, I feel it won't be a problem any more because he'll be there to put it into the back of the net. The fans will be happy to have him and at the same time that high expectation you talked about will be much because they'd like to see all he did at Sporting CP to be done and even better at Arsenal and we shouldn't blame the fans if they start talking much about him especially when he start banging goals, they're ready to talk about it like they won a title... something special can happen for Arteta and his boys.
I believe that Arsenal will provide more scoring opportunities for the striker and if they continue with the way they played last season I see Viktor Gyökeres getting more than 20+ goals (if they sign him) so goals shouldn't be a problem. And now that they are involved in 4 competitions I believe injuries, fatigue even red cards should not be a problem for them to lose games any how like they did last campaign.

From what I read that should incase Galatasaray gets his signature they won't sell him to any Italian club for 2 years and I asked myself why is it that Napoli are just looking for a way to frustrate the player the more, or is it how they choose to say farewell to the player? What if the player would love to come back to any of the Italian side, that means he had to decline every offers that comes for 2 years? This is too hard I must say, for someone who helped them win a major trophy.
Galatasaray really need someone like him after all he played little part of the season and still became the highest goal scorer so tell me why they won't battle to get him since he doesn't want the Al Hilal move? And again, Napoli are giving Galatasaray by Monday to conclude everything; Galatasaray will pay €40m (£34m/$46m) up front and the remaining €35m (£30m/$40m) will be sent to Napoli by 2026. The deal also includes a critical clause: Osimhen can't be sold to an Italian team for two years.

The annoying part of all these is that when they finally get this player with all this delay let it not be that they can't still win any trophy because it will be a shameful thing. I agree with you, the Gunners should have spent that money they paid for Madueke for the fee of Viktor Gyökeres since they lack a number 9 at least that position don't have to be vacant anymore, imagine if the transfer window is to close today that means the Gunners are ending it without an attacker, too bad.
The Chelsea player Madueke isn't as important as the attacker from Sporting so they should have gone for him first.
One thing about the media is that they give us what we want to hear not that they are giving false news, no...they use whatever way to spice up the news to corespond with the situation of any deal that's if they can't get anything positive that's why we're always coming back to this very deal. Let's wait and see if it will be done tonight or next week like you said.

For me the fans of Arsenal should not panic on this deal because the whole issue has been solved 2 days back is just that the club that's Sporting CP are looking for a way to chase the Gunners off this deal which I feel is the same punishment they are giving to the player Viktor Gyökeres.
They want this transfer to be like that of Osimhen before joining Galatasaray last transfer market back in January but I don't see any need for this deal to be as hard as the Gunners winning a trophy. It won't take up to a week before they finally agree on whatever is holding them. Who's fault is it for this deal to take this long?
