Man Utd suffer huge blow as Arsenal enter race for 42-goal star

31 March 2025 - 21:30

Manchester United have suffered a huge blow with Arsenal entering the race to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres this summer.

  • Arsenal to hijack Chelsea deal for English winger?
  • Arsenal & Chelsea battling to sign Ajax defender

  • The Red Devils are expected to pursue a marquee striker and Gyokeres has been linked with a reunion with manager Ruben Amorim.

    However, a transfer does not appear on the cards, considering the Swede wants to play Champions League football and fight for titles.

    United are 13th in the English top-flight after 29 games. They won't qualify for the Champions League unless they win the Europa League.

    Arsenal, elsewhere, are in a much better position. They are challenging at the top of the league and are almost guaranteed Champions League football.

    The Gunners have a strong interest in the 25-year-old, who has netted a staggering 42 goals in all competitions for Sporting this term.

    Gyokeres has a £85m release clause in his contract, but he has a gentleman's agreement to leave for around £60m this summer.
