Transfer storm has not yet settled, Yorke was exposed to joining Arsenal for £64 million and is related to the Swedish shooting

It is reported that Victor Yorke's deal to join Arsenal of £64 million was involved in a shooting and extortion case in Sweden.

According to Swedish media ETC, local police are investigating why someone fired twice at a residence in Hudinge, near Stockholm, a house belonging to a relative of a Yorke agent.

There are suspicions that the shooting may be related to Yorke's transfer, as the relative had claimed outside that he had received a transfer fee.

Yorcres is one of the most watched transfer protagonists this summer, and his transfer soap opera ended with Mikel Arteta bringing him from Portugal Sports to Arsenal as he wished.

However, this is also one of the most controversial transfers this summer. Yorke refused to participate in pre-season training at Portuguese, while club chairman Federico Valandas made a tough statement at the time: "No one can surpass the interests of the club" and insisted on high-priced negotiations.

According to the Sun, investigators suspect that the agent's relative may be threatened with "raised money" in Sweden, and even involved attempted murder. The representative of Yorke said: "This is a very fragile industry, and this kind of thing unfortunately happens from time to time. The shooting has nothing to do with me or football."

Coincidentally, Portuguese Sports Chairman Valandas publicly stated earlier this summer that "blassip and insult" cannot force the club to sell Yorke.

Portuguese club chairman Frederico said earlier this summer that "ransformation and insults" would not convince them to sell Yorkles at the time, amid the backdrop of Arsenal and Manchester United chasing the 27-year-old striker, he seemed to be speaking out against the way the two Premier League giants operated. Valandas insisted that he would not accept "insulting" low-priced offer - although he also admitted that he would not force a termination fee of up to £84 million in the contract.

Valandas explained the whole process in detail in June this year: "I tried to take three days off and just came back yesterday. I saw too much news and anti-information, so it is necessary to explain it.

Things started after the end of last year's season and became the Portuguese Super League champion. After the transfer market began, we saw that he would stay because there was no offer.

The agent came to us to talk to and wanted to add some terms to the contract. As always, sports director Ugo Wei Yana stayed in touch with the agent and handled the relationship. After several meetings, the agent asked me to participate in it in person. The meeting included me, the agent and Viana, and Yorke was not present. The agent wanted to make sure something. In the end, we reached a consensus that Portuguese would not ask for the termination at that time. The reason was simple, he was 27 years old and no player would leave Portugal at this age for 90 million or 100 million euros.

At that meeting, the agent People also want to set a departing amount. I said at the time: ‘There is no need to set it now, because I don’t know what will happen in a year. I don’t know if it will be 40 million, 60 million or 80 million. The only thing I can guarantee is that I won’t ask for 100 million euros.’ Since then, I have never talked to my agent about departing or amount.

Now I see the agent sending information to the media. I want to emphasize one thing: Portuguese is common sense and trustworthy. Yorke scored 63 goals and sent 1 0 assists, performed very well, and was definitely one of the best players to enter the Portuguese arena. The Portuguese will not ask for a termination fee.

But blackmail and insults, the Portuguese will never accept it. One thing is certain: the Portuguese will not accept a quotation of 60 million plus a 10 million floating. As of today, we have not received any official offer about Yorke. "

Arsenal hopes that Yorke can become the official center that the team has been looking for for many years. He is also highly expected to continue his hot state in Portuguese - he has scored a total of 97 goals in the past two seasons.
