Top Premier League clubs enter the transfer race to sign Viktor Gyokeres

Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres is the hottest player in the transfer market and here are 2 premier league clubs competing for his signature.

Following his remarkable performance for Sporting CP in the 2024/2025 season Viktor Gyokeres has become the hottest topic in football as fans and football analysts predict a possible transfer move to a top club in the Premier League.

Manchester United is reportedly keen on signing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP and is optimistic about securing the prolific striker’s services. His remarkable performances, including winning the Bola de Prata as the top scorer in the Primeira Liga, highlight his goal-scoring ability, speed, and stamina, qualities that would significantly strengthen United’s attacking options.

Although Arsenal is also monitoring the Swedish forward, United hopes to outmanoeuvre their Premier League rivals in the upcoming transfer window. Gyokeres is currently tied to Sporting CP until 2028 with a hefty €100 million release clause, but United might be willing to meet the price to bring him to Old Trafford.

Following a challenging 2024/2025 campaign under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, Manchester United is determined to bolster their squad. Recognizing the need for fresh talent to remain competitive, they have made Gyokeres a key transfer target.

Ruben Amorim’s Connection with Gyokeres

One advantage United holds is head coach Ruben Amorim’s prior experience managing Gyokeres during their time together at Sporting CP. This existing relationship could prove instrumental in persuading the player to make the move. Amorim’s firsthand knowledge of Gyokeres’s capabilities and tactical fit could ensure a smooth integration into United’s system.

Arsenal transfer update

United will face stiff competition from Arsenal, who are equally interested in acquiring Gyokeres. However, The Independent reports that United is confident of overcoming any challenge from the Gunners due to their positive relationship with Sporting and Gyokeres’s desire to reunite with Amorim. Combined with the club’s rich history and winning pedigree, United may have the edge needed to secure the striker’s signature.
