<p>Swedish sensation Gyokeres has become one of the most sought-after talents in world football. The 26-year-old forward has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/viktor-gyokeres-scores-four-sporting-cp-striker-hat-trick-boavista-arsenal-man-utd-linked-star-50-goals-season/blt051f7a1ab0886d67" target="_blank">hit 52 goals across all competitions this season</a>, and 95 through 98 appearances during his time in Lisbon.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The former Brighton and Coventry frontman is now seeing a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-man-utd-next-eric-cantona-red-devils-break-bank-bayern-munich-striker-leader/blt5d0c07b966f48914" target="_blank">return to English football speculated on</a>. Having previously worked with Amorim in Portugal, a reunion for the pair at Old Trafford has been mooted.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United are, however, languishing 14th in the Premier League table. They are into the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bilbao-or-bust-nico-williams-athletic-club-man-utd-season-defining-europa-league-semi-final/blt704f84a9d7c518ed" target="_blank">Europa League semi-finals, where they will face Athletic Club</a>, and ultimate glory in that competition would secure Champions League qualification for 2025-26.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim admits that the Red Devils need to be rubbing shoulders with the European elite in order to stand any chance of signing Gyokeres. He has said of a player that he knows well: “I didn't talk to him. But if a player only wants to come to Man United to play Champions League, then he won't come. We want players who want to represent United, not players who want to play certain competitions.”</p>

WHAT RUBEN AMORIM SAID

<p>According to <a href="https://www.abola.pt/futebol/noticias/os-pormenores-do-pacto-entre-sporting-e-gyokeres-2025042022132014659 " target="_blank"><em>A Bola</em></a>, Arsenal are the “best-placed club” to land Gyokeres this summer, as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-linked-viktor-gyokeres-mesut-ozil-approval-copying-ex-gunners-real-madrid-star-bounce-trick-goal-sporting-champions-league-man-city/blt8d672ad3b24e8340" target="_blank">Gunners carry out their own search for a new No.9</a>. The Sweden international is said to have a £60 million ($80m) release clause in his contract.
