Arsenal and Manchester United were linked to a decision for the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokerers this summer.
The 26 -year -old was exceptional for the Portuguese club, and his performances attracted the attention of Premier League clubs. Gyokerers could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the two teams, and it remains to be seen where it is.
According to a Fichajes report, it is estimated at 80 million euros, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs are ready to pay for him. The report says that the two clubs are ready to make the last step and submit an offer to it. It is a world class player who could transform them into the attack. Gyokerres has 54 goals and 13 assists in his name last season.
Arsenal and Man United need Viktor Gyokerres
Arsenal needs an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who has not been able to score goals in a coherent way. The absence of a quality attacker cost them the title of league last season, and Arsenal will be desperate to improve in this field on the ground.
On the other hand, players like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund were disappointing in the Premier League. Manchester United needs a reliable scorer to do well next season. They hope to put pressure on the qualification in the Champions League, and they need a reliable source of objectives.
The move of the Premier League could be ideal
Gyokerres will want to spend the next stage of his career and join a big club capable of fighting for trophies. A Premier League move could be ideal for him. It will be interesting to see where it will end. Arsenal will be able to provide him with football in the Champions League, and they are better placed to put pressure for major trophies. They could be a more attractive destination for him.
However, Manchester United is one of the country’s largest clubs, and the possibility of joining them can be difficult to refuse.
