Viktor Gyokeres has been making quite a name for himself lately, with some of the biggest clubs in the world showing interest in him. Despite also being linked to Arsenal and Chelsea, it seems that his heart is set on a move to Manchester United. And who can blame him? With his incredible performance for Sporting Lisbon, it's no surprise that such top clubs are vying for his talents.
In his first season with the Portuguese club, Gyokeres scored an impressive 43 goals in just 50 games. And this season, he shows no signs of slowing down, already scoring 24 goals in just 19 appearances. It's no wonder that he caught the eye of Manchester United, especially since his manager at Sporting Lisbon has now taken over at Old Trafford.
And it's not just United who are in desperate need of Gyokeres' goal-scoring abilities. Arsenal and Chelsea have also struggled to find the back of the net this season, with both clubs looking to bring in a new striker. In fact, Arsenal was even linked to Newcastle United's Alexander Isak over the summer. However, it seems that Gyokeres is the preferred choice for all three clubs, with his release clause of just £65m making him a hot commodity in the upcoming January transfer window.
Despite interest from other top clubs, Gyokeres reportedly believes that a reunion with his former manager, Ruben Amorim, at Manchester United would be the best move for his career. This may come as a surprise to some, considering United's current lack of success on the pitch. But Gyokeres seems to have faith in the team and is willing to snub higher-ranked clubs for the opportunity to join them.
And it's not just Gyokeres' impressive goal-scoring record that has caught the attention of clubs. His heroics helped Sporting Lisbon win the Primeira Liga last season, and they are currently sitting at the top of the table once again with a six-point lead. They are also performing well in the new Champions League group phase, making Gyokeres an even more desirable player.
Former Premier League defender William Gallas is a big fan of Gyokeres and believes that Arsenal has no chance of signing him. In fact, he predicts that Gyokeres will follow Amorim to Manchester United, where he will fit in perfectly with the team's style of play. And he's not the only one who sees Gyokeres as a must-have for United. Ex-Premier League boss Tim Sherwood also believes that the club is in desperate need of a striker like Gyokeres, who has proven himself in both English and Portuguese football.
It's clear that Gyokeres is a highly sought-after player, and it's no wonder why. With his impressive goal-scoring abilities and experience in both the Championship and the Primeira Liga, he would be a valuable addition to any team. And for Manchester United, who have been struggling to find a consistent goal-scorer, Gyokeres could be the missing piece that they need to turn their season around.
