As the summer transfer window gathers momentum, one of the hottest striker targets in Europe, Viktor Gyökeres, has reportedly chosen Arsenal over Manchester United, dashing Red Devils fans’ hopes of a reunion between the Swedish goal machine and former Sporting boss, Rúben Amorim.

According to trusted football transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Gyökeres is keen on a move to the Emirates, despite strong interest from United and direct outreach in recent weeks. Arsenal, who are also in talks with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško, are carefully weighing their options — but Gyökeres is believed to be their top priority.

🔥 A Striker in Demand

Coming off a sensational season with Sporting CP, where he bagged goals with ease and proved his dominance in front of goal, Viktor Gyökeres has emerged as one of the most lethal strikers in Europe. His blend of pace, power, and technical prowess makes him a natural fit for the high-intensity Premier League.

❌ United Left in the Cold… Again?

Manchester United, reeling from a disappointing 2024/25 campaign and in desperate need of firepower, were hopeful that Amorim’s arrival would lure his former talisman to Old Trafford. But once again, the Red Devils seem to be losing out on key targets to their rivals.

With Viktor Gyökeres turning them down and United’s summer rebuild hanging by a thread, many fans are beginning to ask: Is United still an attractive destination for top players?

💭 Opinion: Arsenal Are Moving Like a Club Ready to Win Now

If Arsenal secures Gyökeres, it sends a clear signal: They’re not playing for second place anymore. Mikel Arteta’s side has come painfully close to Premier League glory in recent seasons, but their lack of a consistent, elite striker has haunted them.

Gyökeres could be the missing puzzle piece — a proper No. 9 with the physicality and killer instinct to turn half-chances into game-winning goals. With the likes of Saka, Ødegaard, and Martinelli feeding him, the Emirates could become a fortress once again.

🗣️ Fan Take:

“If Arsenal get Gyökeres, the league better watch out!”
“Man Utd can't even convince a player with their former coach… what a mess.”
“Arteta is building a squad to dominate for years — this would be a masterstroke.”
