Arsenal and Manchester United are both in the running to sign Viktor Gyokeres, and one of the clubs could secure his signature in a matter of weeks.
With Arsenal confirming they won’t be winning a trophy this season, and Manchester United still vying for the Europa League, both clubs will be looking to strengthen their squads this summer. A new striker is a priority for both teams, as they look to improve their attacking options.
The two Premier League giants have often been linked to the same players, and it will be intriguing to see who secures these highly coveted stars, including Gyokeres, who has been in excellent form at Sporting Club. Arsenal, however, is confident it can win the race to sign the Swedish forward.
Arsenal’s Confidence in Securing Gyokeres
Gyokeres has been a standout performer for Sporting Club, refusing to stop scoring and impressing clubs across Europe. Despite this, Manchester United is also reportedly keen on securing his services. The Red Devils see the opportunity to reunite Gyokeres with Ruben Amorim, the manager who has brought out the best in him.
However, according to The Sun, Gyokeres is expected to choose Arsenal over Manchester United when he makes his decision. The Swedish striker reportedly sees the Gunners as the ideal club for the next step in his career. Arsenal, who have been tracking him closely, are confident that they will win the race for his signature.
A Critical Summer for Both Clubs
While both Arsenal and Manchester United have their sights set on Gyokeres, it’s clear that Arsenal is prioritising the signing of the Swedish international. If they have indeed identified him as their preferred target to lead the line at the Emirates, they will need to ensure they beat United to the punch and secure a deal this summer.
Both clubs are looking to bolster their attacking depth, and Gyokeres could provide the solution they are both seeking. His move to the Premier League seems imminent, and it will be a battle between two top English clubs to secure his services.

With Zubimendi almost secured Arsenal will have lots of time to sign a striker and there are lots of options out there Jonathan David, Delap,Olie Watkins, Benjamin Sesko, Ekiteki, Alvarez and Cunha so arsenal better pick the right one.
News and rumours I’ve read he and Zubimendi are done deals .
Not my personal preference but Arteta likes a certain type of player .
The gaffer has to be back to the hilt once more.
Let’s get these deals over the line early, we need a good preseason
Martin & Gyokeres IN
Partey New Contract
Deepen the squad depth
Jorginho, Sterling, Nelson & Jesus to be moved on.
I’d go one better and get David on a free from Lille also… takes Jesus’ spot, challenges all the attacking spots for Kia, Martinelli and Saka to step up & can make a difference with not much spent. Quality he certainly has, deepens our squad depth which we sorely need.
Bring those 3 in at the same time at the start of the window lays down a huge marker. £51m on Martin, £65m on Gyokeres & David on a free. We have money from this season in earnings to afford that then grab what else we need after we clear out a few names.
Not alot to spend and can recoup some money in sales hopefully along with the wage bill being slashed some
Sean, I very much doubt that Jesus can be moved on in the summer because of his injury. If he does move, then I reckon the earliest he’ll leave will be in the next January transfer window.
Having watched several games played by the GYKO,
He does seem NOT to press when his team lose the ball!
Also, He seldom goes back and defends
What I find a little more worrisome, He does score goals, but very few with his heads.
Still Arteta should be able to coach these deficiencies out of him!!
Nico Willams: 50 m
Zubimendy : 50 m.
Sezko :60 M. (very young)
Garcia :20 M (excelent young Keeper)
Huijssen :50 M (Cover for Saliba or Gabriel)
Selling :Kivior,Tomiyasu,Nelson,Lokonga,Viera and Jesus, will keep Net Spending below 150 M.
We should keep an squad of 25 to 26 players.
Why is Arsenal not interested in Osimen yet he is a top striker that can cause immediate impact at the club?
Maybe he has attitude problems, as there doesn’t seem to be other big clubs interested in him.
