Manchester United have been approached by emissaries close to Sporting Lisbon to enter the bidding for Viktor Gyokeres, although according to Fabrizio Romano, the Swedish striker is still only focused on joining Arsenal.
Viktor Gyokeres is starring in one of the most important and complicated transfer sagas of this summer transfer window. The Swedish striker wants to leave Sporting Lisbon and all signs point to Arsenal as his next destination.
However, the Portuguese club are unwilling to give in to the Gunners' offers and in recent hours emissaries close to the club have approached Manchester United to offer them the chance to enter the bidding for the prolific striker.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that despite this, Gyokeres' main focus is on joining Mikel Arteta's side and that he will fight for it, despite a possible offer from the Red Devils.
Indeed, Mikel Arteta told a news conference on Monday that he refused to talk about the Swedish striker until he was part of his squad. "He's not part of our group yet. And I don't have anything concrete to offer to any player who is not part of the group yet," he said.
