Manchester United have tried to hijack a move for Viktor Gyokeres from Arsenal, according to reports in Portugal. The Gunners have been in talks with the Portuguese side for some time and were optimistic about finalising a deal before their pre-season tour to Singapore.

Viktor Gyokeres' true feelings on a proposed transfer to Arsenal have emerged amid reports of Man United attempting to hijack the deal. Arsenal have been in the market for a striker all summer and identified Gyokeres as their top target.

football.london has reported that Arsenal and Sporting had finally reached a consensus on a €73.5 million (£63.7m) deal for the forward, with an additional €10m (£8.4m) in add-ons. However, while the total fee has been settled, the clubs are still hashing out the specifics of the add-ons and how they are to be achieved.
