Manchester United's search for a striker could be aided by Arsenal's reported hesitation to sign Viktor Gyokeres. The Red Devils, under new manager Ruben Amorim, are targeting the Swedish forward, who has impressed with his goalscoring form for Coventry.
Manchester United 's pursuit of a striker could be aided by Arsenal being advised against signing Viktor Gyokeres . Since the arrival of Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford, United are expected to be the busiest club when the transfer window opens, due to Amorim's specific team needs. A desired target for Amorim is Sweden forward Gyokeres, who boasts 26 goals in 24 matches this season.
Gyokeres excelled under Amorim previously, and his goalscoring prowess would be a welcome addition to United's struggling attack. Financially, United could free up funds for Gyokeres if players like Marcus Rashford depart. Arsenal, also admirers of the Swedish forward, would face competition from United. However, former Arsenal player Martin Keown believes Arsenal should seek a more suitable option. Keown stated that Arsenal's current players need to start scoring goals quickly or Mikel Arteta will have to buy a forward. Gyokeres' impressive pace is evident, with a recorded top speed of 34.55mh/h in the Champions League this season, placing him joint-55th in the competition alongside Mohamed Salah. Amorim, who knows Gyokeres' capabilities well, would undoubtedly welcome him to Manchester. Gyokeres has an £84m release clause, but Sporting is reportedly open to accepting around £63m
