Arsenal have not given up hope of signing Viktor Gyökeres but fear they have already lost out to Manchester United in the race to sign the Sporting striker.

 

Arsenal remain interested in Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres but are growing concerned that Manchester United have moved ahead in the pursuit of the Swedish forward, according to reports.

The 25-year-old has been in sensational form this season, scoring 29 goals in 30 league appearances, attracting interest from top European clubs. The Gunners are keen to bolster their attack, with Gyökeres seen as a potential marquee signing. However, United’s need for a proven No. 9 could give them the edge in negotiations.

Sporting are expected to demand his €100 million (£86m) release clause, meaning any deal would require a significant financial commitment. While Arsenal haven’t given up hope, they may need to act quickly if they want to beat their Premier League rivals to his signature.

Will the Gunners make their move, or will Old Trafford win the race? The summer transfer battle is heating up.
