Manchester United are on the verge of completing a deal for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, putting rivals Arsenal at serious risk of losing out on one of their top transfer targets.
After weeks of speculation, United have reportedly made significant progress in negotiations with the Portuguese club and are now close to securing the powerful Swedish forward. With talks said to be at an advanced stage, Erik ten Hag is determined to add Gyökeres to his attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
Arsenal, who have long been monitoring the 26-year-old goal machine, may now be forced to shift their focus elsewhere as Manchester United look set to beat them to the punch. The Red Devils are moving swiftly to finalize terms, confident they’ve found a key piece to bolster their front line.
