Top lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi, a Senior Counsel and one of Kenya’s most prominent legal minds, has now publicly offered to foot the contentious sum, expressing frustration at the delay in completing the deal.
“£2.5m is holding the transfer of Victor Gyökeres to Arsenal. SAD! I want to publicly inform both @Arsenal and @m8arteta that I'm willing to pay the same so that the player can join the team in their pre-season tour in Singapore! @WehliyeMohamed,” Abdullahi posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The deal, which initially appeared to be nearing completion, involves an upfront fee of €63 million (approximately Ksh 9.45 billion) and €10 million (approximately Ksh 1.5 billion) in performance-related add-ons.
However, both clubs have hit a snag over the remaining €2.5 million (Ksh 375 million), a relatively small portion—just 3.4%—of the overall agreement.

The lawyer’s willingness to contribute such a significant amount underscores the global passion the club commands, especially in football-loving nations like Kenya.

Arsenal wants it tied to major achievements—such as winning the Premier League or Champions League—while Sporting prefers it to be triggered once Gyökeres makes 40 appearances over two seasons, regardless of silverware.

I think we can raise tens of millions.”
