Sporting CP -Spits Viktor Gyokeres is looked at by both Arsenal and Manchester United prior to the summer transfer window
The European League final on Wednesday evening is expected to have a remarkable influence on the future of sporty CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, while Arsenal and Manchester United continue to investigate into the high swed's services. The 26-year-old, who scored 53 goals and also registered 13 assists in 51 performances this season in Portugal, is one of the most popular raw materials in Europe and the race for his signature is expected to intensify next week. Gyokeres is preparing for his sporting farewell on Sunday when he plans to draw in style against Benfica in the final of Taça de Portugal after he already recorded his second consecutive Primeira Liga title last weekend. And although the ex-Brighton, Swansea City and Coventry City Frontman still have to confirm that he will leave this summer, the decision has already been taken and there is a men's agreement that enables Gyokeres to leave for a package worth £ 60 million.
Arsenal Sporting Director Andrea Berta regards Gyokeres as the perfect fit for the Mikel Arteta project and a selection framework No. 9 is actively considered a transfer priority for the Gunners. It is currently unclear whether Gyokeres is the primary target of Arsenal – there is also a huge admiration for Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko from Newcastle – but Manchester United is also interested in Gyokeres and at the moment it is currently like a race with two horses. The sporty Hotshot wants to win trophies and compete at the highest level in the Champions League and if United will not be eligible for Europe's Elite Club competition next season, Arsenal will be placed well to defeat their rivals if they decide to follow a deal. United is already on track to seal the signature of £ 62.5 million from Wolves' Matheus Cunha from Wolves and they also spoke with Ipswich striker Liam Delap, since Gyokeres together in Lisbon with Ruben Amorim, is not yet a move to Old Trafford. But their project is a difficult sale without Champions League football, since they are currently in 16th place in the Premier League and Arsenal are apparently well equipped to continue to compete for the top prizes, despite the fact that this season fails.
Gyokeres will be 27 this summer, goes his prime and now he has a taste of silverware and Champions League football in Portugal, he doesn't want to waste time. Trophies, goals and records are what floats him and although you cannot underestimate the size and form of United, Gyokeres seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle for Arsenal and the type of acquisition that could help them across the line next season. The Red Devils are also under a considerable financial tension and have to sell as soon as the Cunha deal has been processed to continue with expenditure. In the meantime, Arsenal are armed with enormous money and if United Tottenham in Bilbao does not leave, it is clear that the Gunners are in pole position to land the red -hot Swede if they want to press the button.
