Man Utd and Arsenal transfer target is ‘from another world’
Manchester United and Arsenal have told one of their key transfer targets is ‘from another world’.
The Premier League giants have both สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ expresse interest in signing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon this summer.
With 40 goals in 41 matches this season, Gyokeres is one of the most prolific strikers in Europe.
The 26-year-old enjoye similar success in front of goal last term, netting 43 times during his first campaign in Portugal following a move from Championship side Coventry City.
Both Man United and Arsenal look in desperate need of a striker and have told key target Gyokeres is ‘from another world’ by one of his Sporting Lisbon teammates.
Spanish defender Ivan Fresneda said: ‘He always needs to score goals, he gets frustrate if he doesn’t. He’s a machine in games, in training in life a star from another world.
‘He’s on another level’s a very complete player because he’s physically strong, he’s fast, he’s powerful, he’s got a shot, but that’s not all.
‘The quality he has, his height, his physical strength. You try to find a player like that and in today’s football, I don’t see many like him, who are so physically strong and then have quality.’
Aske if he was surprise some of the biggest clubs in the world were weighing up moves for Gyokeres, Fresneda adde: ‘Not at all, no.
‘He’s always the same. What people see in the game is what we see in training. A lot of people have talked about him and nothing changes, he’s the same every day.’
Manchester United spent over £100m on attacking duo Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee but both have endure dismal seasons at Old Trafford.
United were thought to hold an advantage in the race to sign Gyokeres due to his relationship with former manager and current Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim.
But recent reports suggest Gyokeres intends to join a Champions League if he does inde leave Sporting at the end of the season.
Sitting 13th in the Premier League with just 37 points from 29 games, the top-four places are beyond the reach of United, although they will still sneak into the Champions League if they manage to win the Europa League ahead of a quarter-final tie with Lyon.
Arsenal, meanwhile, will surely sign a new striker this summer after their decision not to do so during the January transfer window backfire.
The Gunners were linke with several forwards – and even made a bid for England’s Ollie Watkins – but failed to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking options.
Arsenal’s hopes of winning the Premier League for the first time since 2004 have all but ende since the window close, with Arteta’s side slipping 12 points behind champions-elect Liverpool.
Gyokeres is believe to be open to a move to the Emirates Stadium but Arsenal have also expresse interest in Benjamin Sesko and Victor Osimhen.
