Juventus eyes on Gyokeres after Manchester United and Arsenal decisions | OneFootball

Juventus are watching the Viktor Gyokeres situation with interest, as for various reasons, the Sporting CP striker is further away from Arsenal and Manchester United.

The centre-forward is one of the hottest properties on the transfer market this summer, thanks to his extraordinary tally of 54 goals in just 52 competitive appearances for Sporting this season.

There were 13 assists on top of that too, so he was expected to move to the Premier League after attempts to sign him in January were rebuffed.

The problem, as reported by Portuguese paper Record, is that Gyokeres informed Manchester United he has no intention of joining them because they failed to qualify for Europe.

He would prefer to come to Arsenal, but the issue here is that there are suggestions coach Mikel Arteta has a definite preference for RB Leipzig centre-forward Benjamin Sesko.

The delays are all pushing Gyokeres towards Juventus, who have qualified for the Champions League and are participating in the Club World Cup this summer.

The other concern around the Sweden international is that his agent insists Sporting promised to let him leave for €60m plus €10m in bonuses, something the club is denying.
