Victor Gyokeres has disclosed that he is ready to make a move to Arsenal, but only if one specific condition is fulfilled, after scoring a hat-trick against Manchester City yesterday.

 

After netting a hat-trick against Manchester City yesterday, Victor Gyokeres has expressed his willingness to join Arsenal, contingent upon one particular condition.

 

Arsenal may receive a significant boost amid ongoing interest in Sporting CP striker Victor Gyokeres, who is reportedly frustrated by his manager’s recent departure to Manchester United.

 

In the Premier League, player and coaching staff movements often trigger a series of consequences, with the primary goal being to avoid strengthening rival teams.

 

Manchester United is likely celebrating their recent appointment of Amorim, announced this Friday, but this change could potentially lead one of Europe’s top scorers to consider a move to Arsenal.

 

As reported by O Jogo, many players within Sporting’s squad are left questioning their coach’s decision to leave for Old Trafford during the 2024/25 season.

 

Gyokeres, who garnered significant interest from Arsenal and other elite European clubs over the summer, is among those expressing concern.

 

He reportedly feels that he demonstrated loyalty to Amorim by staying in the Primera Liga, expecting the same commitment in return from his coach.

 

With that trust now seemingly broken, Gyokeres is left contemplating his next major transfer.

 

The 26-year-old Sweden international was previously approached by Brighton but chose to join Coventry City instead.

 

During his time there, he made 116 appearances, netting 43 goals and providing 17 assists, before opting for Sporting over lower-tier Premier League clubs that were also interested.

 

This decision proved to be astute, as his year at Sporting has seen him become a Portuguese champion, scoring an impressive 59 goals in 65 matches.

 

This success has certainly caught the attention of Arsenal and their competitors.

 

However, there is a concern that Gyokeres’ disillusionment could become a factor for Arsenal, especially as he scored two more goals this week.

 

As discussions around Amorim continue, Gyokeres’ professionalism remains a commendable quality that Mikel Arteta may find appealing.

 

It now falls upon him and the club to persuade this crucial target that the Emirates Stadium is the ideal place for him to further his impressive development.

 

Gyokeres is said to have an £84 million release clause in his contract with Lisbon; however, recent reports indicate that Sporting would be open to offers between £51 million and £59 million.

 

Manchester United is likely to play a significant role in these negotiations due to their recent connection with the player, while Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea have also been mentioned in discussions.
