According to a report from CaughtOffside, Manchester United are preparing a move to land Viktor Gyokeres in the 2025 summer window. In order to make the deal feasible, the Premier League club are even ready to offer Joshua Zirkzee.
Viktor Gyokeres has stunned the football world
Viktor Gyokeres is the latest sensation in the world of football. While he has been doing an impressive job for a while, his name caught all the limelight following his hat trick against Manchester City in the Champions League recently.
Gyokeres is a clinical finisher and his numbers are proof of that statement. He has already netted 23 goals in 18 games apart from providing four assists. He is averaging 4.6 shots, 2.5 key passes, and 1.7 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The Swedish centre-forward provides sharp finishes with both his feet. He also has good control over the ball and dribbling skills, allowing him to link up with his teammates. His speed and physicality make him a threat on the counters.
Viktor Gyokeres can improve Manchester United immensely
Manchester United already have the likes of Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee as their striking options. However, the former has been inconsistent with his performances while the latter has failed miserably to adapt in the Premier League.
The Red Devils are seriously lacking quality in the final third and they need a clinical striker to bring more goals up front. Hence, the English giant have turned their head towards Viktor Gyokeres, who is anticipated as the next big thing in football.
Gyokeres is already operating at full efficiency and has a lot to offer. Notably, he already shares a good bond with United’s new boss Ruben Amorim. Though Sporting CP will surely demand a premium fee for the 26-year-old, Manchester United will attempt to bring down the cash value by offering Joshua Zirkzee in the exchange.
