What Arsenal and Man Utd target Viktor Gyokeres has told team-mates about transfer
@Source: mirror.co.uk
Viktor Gyokeres has quipped to his Sporting Lisbon team-mates that “he’s not a fortune teller” after being repeatedly asked if he is leaving this summer . Gyokeres is being chased by several top European clubs after putting together a staggering campaign for Sporting, but nothing has been settled yet . The 26-year-old centre-forward has racked up 53 goals and 13 assists in 51 games across all competitions and could end the campaign with two trophies. Sporting wrapped up the league and now face rivals Benfica in the Portuguese Cup final on Sunday. Once that game is out of the way, it’s expected to be open season for transfer talks, with Sporting happy to sell for £60million. While Manchester United are considered contenders, Portuguese newspaper O Jogo have claimed Gyokeres is 'on his way to Arsenal' . It is clear that Gyokeres’ team-mates don’t know if that is true, given the insight of midfielder Pedro Goncalves. “I asked him and we all asked him. He says he’s not a fortune teller. We still have the Portuguese Cup against Benfica to play,” he told Canal 11. “I have a very good relationship with him, but I don’t talk about it with him. What I know is because of Fabrizio Romano… I’m sticking with him. I don’t know if he’s going to leave.” Arsenal are ready to splash the cash to sign a world-class striker this summer and new sporting director Andrea Berta has made signing Gyokeres his top priority. As Mirror Football reported recently , the Gunners believe they have got to the front of the queue by informing Sporting they are ready to do business early and pay the Sweden international handsomely. They have also kept an eye on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, but Gyokeres’ weight of goals has made him an attractive prospect. Speaking earlier this year, the Swede admitted he hopes to play for "one of the best teams in Europe" soon and Arsenal’s run to the Champions League semi-finals will help. HAVE YOUR SAY! Where will Viktor Gyokeres end up this summer - and will he be a success? Comment below . Goncalves knows that his team-mate is ready for a big-money transfer. “I feel like he’s evolved a lot since he arrived,” he added. “There are training sessions where it seems like he’s holding back.” United are also interested in Gyokeres, who flourished under Ruben Amorim’s management in Lisbon, but also have other targets. They are in talks to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha for £62.5m, while Ipswich’s Liam Delap is also a target for £30m. Sporting are eager to do business and have agreed to sell Gyokeres for below his release clause as a thank you for his outstanding service. He will reportedly be available for £60m – substantially less than his reported £83.6m release clause . Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
