Viktor Gyokeres to Man United transfer latest - fresh hope offered amid Arsenal update

Viktor Gyokeres is yet to resolve his future amid ongoing negotiations between Arsenal and Sporting Clube de Portugal over the striker.

However, Manchester United could emerge as a potential alternative, offering him a transfer lifeline.

Recent reports suggest that talks between Arsenal and the Portuguese club have been challenging, with President Frederico Varandas reportedly standing firm on his €70million (£60million) valuation of the Swedish forward.
