Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres during the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Manchester United are still dreaming of signing Viktor Gyokeres, who is a target for Arsenal as well. The Swede has scored 97 goals for the Portuguese club, and he has been outstanding for them. The Sporting CP star is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in football right now, and he could improve Manchester United immensely.
It is no secret that Manchester United need a quality striker leading the line for them, thus justifying their interest in Gyokeres. Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have not worked out for them, and they need to bring in improvements this summer.
The Red Devils have endured a disappointing season, and they will look to bounce back strongly next term. Manchester United finished in the bottom half of the league table this past season. They lost in the final of the UEFA Europa League against Tottenham as well. It will be interesting to see if they can improve the squad adequately and bounce back strongly next season.
Gyokeres has proven himself in Portugal, and he will look to take up a new challenge. A move to the Premier League would be ideal for him at this stage of his career. The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to fight for major trophies. Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they provide him with the platform he needs.
Arsenal keen on Gyokeres
Similarly, a move to Arsenal will be quite attractive for the player as well. The Gunners need an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who has not been able to score goals consistently. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Manchester United to his signature. Recent reports have claimed that Arsenal lead the race to sign the Swedish goal machine.
Both clubs will be exciting opportunities for the Swede, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He has the ability to make an instant impact in the Premier League, and he could transform both teams in the final third.
