Arsenal and Manchester United are tied to the movement of sports CP striker Viktor Gyokeres this summer.
The 26-year-old is a standout for the Portuguese club, and his performance has attracted the attention of Premier League clubs. Gyoker could prove to be a great acquisition of two teams, and it’s still unclear where he’s going.
According to a report by Fichajes, he is valued at 80 million euros, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs are willing to pay him. The report claims that the two clubs are ready to take the final step and submit an offer to him. He is a world class player who can change them with attacks. Gyoker has 54 goals and 13 assists this past season.
Arsenal and Man United need Victor Gyoker
Arsenal needs an upgrade from Gabriel Jesus, who has been unable to score goals consistently. The lack of quality strikers cost the league title last season, and Arsenal is desperate to improve in that area of the pitch.
Meanwhile, players like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund are overwhelmed in the Premier League. Manchester United need a reliable goal scorer to do well next season. They want to promote Champions League qualifications and need a source of trustworthy goals.
Premier League travel might be ideal
Gyoker will want to take the next step in his career and join a big club where he can compete for the trophy. Moving to the Premier League might be ideal for him. It would be interesting to see where he ends. Arsenal can offer him Champions League football and they would be better off pushing major trophies. They may be a more attractive destination for him.
However, Manchester United is one of the largest clubs in the country, and it can be difficult to refuse opportunities to join them.
