According to Sky Sports, Arsenal and Portugal continued to negotiate on Yorke's transfer.
The two sides still have differences on player value valuations, and Portugal reportedly hopes to sell the player for £69 million (including additional terms). Although the two clubs have little disagreement in terms of total expenses, the key is how much of the amount is determined to pay.
Arsenal are impressed with the players' desire to join, but they will remain cautious. They have done due diligence on other targets in case they cannot complete the deal with Portuguese. The player has allowed Yorke to postpone his return to the team for pre-season training, and the player was scheduled to return on Monday, a week later than some teammates, but now, the player is allowed to return on Friday so that negotiations with Arsenal can continue.
In his two seasons of playing in Portugal, Yorke played in 102 games and scored 97 goals. Last season, he scored 45 goals in various competitions, including a hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League. If transferred to Arsenal, Yorke will return to England after he joined Brighton in January 2018 and transferred to Coventry after playing for St. Pauli and Swansea on loan, scoring 43 goals for Coventry in two and a half seasons in the Championship.
