Viktor Gyokeres tells Ruben Amorim his view on joining Arsenal ahead of Manchester United

Viktor Gyokeres has informed Ruben Amorim that he will think about a move to *”Manchester United”* before *”Arsenal”*, but only if they qualify for next season’s *”Champions League.”*

Gyokeres is a top target on *”Arsenal’s”* striker list going into the summer, though Mikel Arteta’s team will have to compete with *”United”*, who are also eager to add a new striker.

The Swedish forward has been among the most productive goal-scorers in Europe this season, netting 52 goals in 49 games for *”Sporting CP.”*

Gyokeres has a *”€100 million (£84.7m)”* release clause in his *”Sporting”* contract, but it is believed that the Portuguese side would agree to a deal between *”€75m and €85m (£63.5m and £72m)”* for the 26-year-old.

According to *”The Telegraph”*, *”Arsenal’s”* sporting director, Andrea Berta, prefers signing Gyokeres over RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko this summer.

The same report states that while Gyokeres leans toward joining *”Arsenal”*, and has had discussions with *”Amorim”*, he will only consider *”United”* if they secure a spot in next season’s *”Champions League.”*

Currently, *”Amorim”* would need to lead *”United”* to a win in the *”Europa League final”* on *May 21* to ensure their place in the *”Champions League.”*

Meanwhile, *”Arsenal’s”* hopes of lifting the *”Champions League”* were ended with their recent loss to *”Paris Saint-Germain”*, though they remain second in the *”Premier League”*, four points ahead of fifth-place *”Chelsea”* with three matches left.

Last month, *”Sporting”* head coach *”Rui Borges”* admitted this might be Gyokeres’ last season with the club.

‘Viktor is a player… I think there are no words, it is unlikely that another player of his quality will emerge in our league over the next few years,’ said *”Borges.”*

‘He is clearly above average. *”Sporting”* saw his talent, and here we are.

‘Luckily, we have him at *”Sporting.”* We must make the most of our time with him because he is truly outstanding.

‘I’ve said it before and will keep saying it – he adds so much to the team, and the other players understand what he brings, which is why they seek him out during games.’
