Manchester United target Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly said yes to a Premier League club’s proposal for a move this summer.
The Sweden international has been on fire since arriving in Lisbon in 2023, scoring a staggering 86 goals in just 92 appearances, with 43 of those coming this season.
And, naturally, Gyokeres’ performances have attracted the attention of several clubs.
One of those is United, with Ruben Amorim keen to add a top-class striker to his front line.
Despite signing Joshua Zirkzee for around £36.5m last summer and Rasmus Hojlund for around £64m in 2023, United have struggled for goals in attack.
With just six Premier League goals between them this season, it is clear that United need a more reliable goal-scorer and Gyokeres could be just that.
However, according to Correio da Manha, Gyokeres has already said yes to one Premier League club’s proposal, and it is not United’s.
The Portuguese source claim that Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta has presented the Swede with a project, to which Gyokeres has “already given a yes”.
It appears a financial package is still yet to be agreed, which could provide United with some hope to still be able to convince Gyokeres his future lies away from North London.
However, should United miss out on their top striker target, options do exist elsewhere.
Links to Victor Osimhen, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko have emerged in recent days, with all three providing good alternative options.
United will not give up on Gyokeres, though, and are still expected to throw their hat in the ring this summer, in what is likely to be a bid to persuade the Swede to lead a new project under Amorim.
