Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres is one of the most sought-after strikers in the transfer market this summer.
The Sweden international attacker has showcased his goal scoring talent consistently for the Portuguese club.
It is hardly a surprise to see some of the biggest clubs in the world take notice of his talent and show interest in signing him.
Arsenal have been active in pursuing a move for the Sporting attacker but the Gunners have also shown interest in RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
Viktor Gyokeres is open to a move to Man United
Gyokeres, who is desperate to leave Sporting this summer, has now put Manchester United in pole position as his next possible destination, according to The Mirror.
The latest update has given United the edge over their Premier League rivals Arsenal to sign the prolific attacker.
The Gunners are leaning towards Sesko at the moment and as per the report, that has made Gyokeres consider a move to Old Trafford, something which looked unlikely recently.
Gyokeres feels that at the moment, his best opportunity to play in the Premier League would be with his former manager Ruben Amorim. The striker and the manager share history from their time at Sporting.
Premier League clubs have shown interest in the Sporting star
The attacker was highly impressive last season, notching a staggering 54 goals in 52 appearances, including a memorable hat-trick in a Champions League win over Manchester City.
There have been reports of Liverpool also entering the race to sign the striker this summer as they look to replace Darwin Nunez.
The striker, who was previously not considering a move to Old Trafford, has now changed his mind and is open to a move to the Red Devils.
Amorim, who is looking to add more firepower to his attack after the failures of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, would be delighted with this update.
