Viktor Gyokeres is being pursued by Arsenal and Manchester United and his relationship with Sporting Lisbon has crumbled in the past few weeks amid competing agendas

On Sunday, multiple major Portuguese outlets claimed that Manchester United were going to try and hijack Arsenal’s stalling deal for Gyökeres. The Red Devils were even described as “quite close” to striking an agreement with Sporting CP, who have thus far failed to find common ground with the Gunners.

Arsenal have reached an agreement for Viktor Gyokeres but the move is not advancing to the final stages, allowing United to sensationally swoop in.
