Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign 26-year-old Swedish international striker Viktor Gyokeres.
According to a report from Daily Star, Arsenal and Barcelona are keen on signing Viktor Gyokeres, valued at around €80 million by Sporting CP. However, Chelsea and Manchester United are ahead of them in the race to sign the Swede.
Gyokeres has established himself as one of the best strikers in the world, and he has been in tremendous form for Sporting CP. The Swedish international scored 43 goals across all competitions last season, and he has already put together 27 goal contributions this season.
He could transform Chelsea in the attack if he joins the club. The Blues need more quality in the final third. Nicolas Jackson has shown improvement this season, but Chelsea need better players if they want to win major trophies. Gyokeres would be an upgrade on the former Villarreal striker, and he could help Chelsea push for major trophies.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need a quality striker as well. They signed Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in the summer transfer window but the Dutch international striker has not been able to hit the ground running in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United look to replace him in the coming months. The Swedish international would be the ideal acquisition for them.
The €80 million asking price seems quite steep for the player, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea or Manchester United are willing to break the bank for him. Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Viktor Gyokeres does not want to join Manchester United yet.
Arsenal and Barcelona keen on Gyokeres
Arsenal and Barcelona are keeping tabs on his situation as well. Arsenal need to find a quality replacement for Gabriel Jesus, who has been quite underwhelming since the move from Manchester City.
On the other hand, Barcelona need a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is in the twilight stages of his career. All four clubs would be exciting destinations for this Sporting CP striker, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He will look to join a club capable of winning major trophies.
