Man Utd and Arsenal Target Viktor Gyökeres Praised as ‘From Another World’

Manchester United and Arsenal have been urged to pursue Viktor Gyökeres, with the Sporting Lisbon striker’s teammate hailing him as a player of extraordinary quality.

Both Premier League clubs are keen on signing the prolific 26-year-old this summer, as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

Gyökeres has been in sensational form this season, scoring 40 goals in 41 appearances, making him one of Europe’s most lethal forwards. His impressive goal-scoring record follows an equally outstanding debut campaign in Portugal, where he found the net 43 times after joining Sporting from Coventry City.

Spanish defender Iván Fresneda, speaking to FlashScore, described Gyökeres as a relentless goal scorer, saying: “He always needs to score—he gets frustrated if he doesn’t. He’s a machine in games, in training, in life. He’s a star from another world.”

Fresneda also highlighted Gyökeres’ versatility, praising his speed, power, finishing ability, and physical presence, which make him a complete striker. With both Arsenal and Manchester United in need of a top-class forward, Gyökeres could be a key target in the upcoming transfer window.

With a reported £63 million release clause, Sporting Lisbon may demand a significant fee for their star striker. Both Arsenal and Manchester United will need to move swiftly if they hope to secure his signature ahead of potential competition from other European clubs. As the summer transfer window approaches, Gyökeres’ future is set to be one of the most closely watched storylines.
