Gyokeres Draws Interest Across Europe

Gyokeres has scored 42 goals in 42 games this season, making him one of Europe’s most prolific forwards. Arsenal, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain have all shown interest, but Manchester United could enter the race following Nani’s endorsement.

Sporting CP reportedly values Gyokeres at £58 million, and with Ruben Amorim already at United, a reunion between coach and striker could be on the cards.

Arsenal vs United: Transfer Battle Brewing

Arsenal remains strongly linked to Gyokeres, but Nani’s comments may influence Manchester United’s transfer strategy. Amorim’s familiarity with Gyokeres adds weight to the possibility of a move to Old Trafford, especially as United looks to rebuild its attacking line.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Viktor Gyokeres must decide his next move. Nani strengthens the Gyokeres Manchester United connection by publicly backing the striker, and Manchester United could tip the scales if they act fast to outbid their Premier League rivals.

Whether he lands at Arsenal or Manchester United, Gyokeres appears destined for a Premier League move—and Nani wants to see him in red.
