Arsenal desperate to stop Man Utd from signing ‘best in the league’ striker

Arsenal are reportedly determined to beat Manchester United to one of the most prolific strikers in Europe, as Usain Bolt shares his verdict on the in-demand star.

Both Arsenal and Man Utd are on the hunt for a new striker in the summer transfer window. While the north London club need a prolific marksman who will score more goals than Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz do, the Red Devils need a more experienced and better striker than Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

Interestingly, both Arsenal and Man Utd could end up winning major European trophies this season.

While the Gunners could overhaul a 1-0 deficit from the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain, the Red Devils will head into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final tie 3-0 up from the first leg.
Described as ‘Europe’s most-wanted striker’ on ESPN in November 2024, the 26-year-old has scored 52 goals and given 12 assists in 48 appearances for Sporting CP this season.

Man Utd are also interested in a summer deal for Gyokeres, with Red Devils’ head coach Ruben Amorim having worked with the Sweden international at Sporting CP.

A report late in April claimed that ‘there is a growing confidence’ at Man Utd that they will complete the signing of Gyokeres, who was described by his current Sporting CP manager Rui Borges last month as “an extraordinary striker” who is “the best in the league”.

It was said to be a ‘done deal’, but the same source has now reported that Arsenal are not ready to give up just yet.
