Viktor Gyokeres has ‘heart set’ on one club following heavy defeat
Viktor Gyokeres has ‘his heart set’ on a move to Manchester United despite also emerging as a target for Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Sweden international is being linked with some of the biggest clubs in the world following a staggering run of form for Sporting Lisbon.
Gyokeres scored 43 goals in 50 games across his first season at the Portuguese club and looks set to surpass that tally this term, with 24 goals in just 19 appearances.
The 26-year-old, who was playing for Championship side Coventry City less than 18 months ago, has netted three hat-tricks so far this season, including one in the Champions League against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Manchester United have been linked with a move for Gyokeres for several months and that speculation has only intensified since the striker’s manager left Sporting Lisbon to take over at Old Trafford.
United have looked desperately short of goalscoring options this season and Marcus Rashford played up front in Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge ahead of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
Arsenal have also had their problems in front of goal this term and were linked with several strikers – including Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak – over the summer.
