Viktor Gyokeres has given an update on his future, in which Man United and Arsenal considered the leaders to win the signature of the sporty striker this summer.
Gyokeres has become one of the most popular talents in Europe after an excellent return of 47 goals in 46 performances in all competitions so far in 2024-25.
The 26-year-old has currently been contracted as sporty until 2028, with his release clause at £ 85 million. Several reports this season have revealed that he is interested in playing in the Premier League.
He was working on it again during the 3-1 victory of Sporting at Moreirense on Friday evening, and this season wake up his fifth hat trick in all competitions and took his goals in the competition up to 34 in the competition.
And after he had expanded the lead on the top of the table above Benfica, Gyokers remained tight when he was asked about rumors stating that he would be allowed to leave this summer.
The Swedish frontman said, “Nobody can predict what will happen, we enjoy the moment.”
Because Gyokees remained during the transfer window in January, Sporting is said to have a Gentleman's agreement from Gyokeres who clears the road for his large move from Portugal this summer.
The Portuguese giants are willing to allow his sale for a fee between £ 55 million and £ 70 million in gratitude for him who stays through them in the winter, according to the sun.
When asked for such an agreement on Friday, Gyokees said: “I can't say anything about that.”
Gyokees was then asked by a reporter if he likes London and played on recent links to Arsenal. The attacker spent a short refutation and answered: “I love Lisbon.”
It was recently reported that Gyokeres promotes a move to Arsenal over United this summer because he wants to continue to play in the Champions League.
Although the Red Devils can still earn their place in Europe's most prestigious club match by winning the Europa League next season, Gyokeres does not seem willing to bet on their tumultuous form.
Arsenal reportedly developed a strong interest in the sporty Lisbon star after the arrival of Andrea Berta as a sports director.
The need of Arsenal for a striker has been all too clear this season, especially after injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
If available, Havertz often gave a good report of himself and this season contributed 15 goals in all competitions.
However, it is generally assumed that Arsenal needs an upgrade in advance to help them achieve success.
In addition to Gyokees, the Gunners are connected to people like Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko.
In the meantime, Mail Sport revealed last week that United Liam Delap of Ipswich Town has made their No. 1 striker target.
