Manchester United were offered a chance to hijack Arsenal's transfer move for Viktor Gyokeres for a second week in a row by Sporting CP, but the Swedish striker has made it clear that his preferred destination remains Arsenal.

Manchester United could hijack Arsenal's transfer deal for Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres as the Red Devils are closing on an agreement to meet the Portuguese club's âŹ70 million (ÂŁ60.6m/$81.4m) valuation.

Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The news comes just days after the Swede refused to report for pre-season with the Portuguese side.

Sporting chief Frederico Varandas has hit out at Viktor Gyokeres's agent and warned interested clubs that âŹ70m will not be enough to land the striker.
