Viktor Gyokeres Sporting CP
Slowly yet surely, Viktor Gyokeres is becoming the new Frenkie de Jong of Man Utd. Every single day, there is so much news that comes out on the transfer front and the Swedish striker is heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford.
The talented ex-Coventry City striker has really improved and honed his game at Sporting over the past couple of seasons.

Interestingly, the manager who got the best out of Gyokeres was Ruben Amorim, who is currently at Manchester United.
Thus, it comes as no surprise that the Red Devils have been linked with a transfer for him. As per Caught Offside, Manchester United lead the race and have initiated the move to sign Viktor Gyokeres next summer.
The media outlet have mentioned that Sporting are likely to let their star attacker leave for a fee in between £58m-£62m.
Spending that amount on a player who has had previous success under Amorim might not be a bad thing.
The only concern with Gyokeres is whether he can carry the form from the Portuguese league to the Premier League. With all due respect, there is a gulf in quality between the two and the step up might not be easy.
If there is anyone who understands the Swede well enough, it is Ruben Amorim. If he thinks that the player would suit his system at Old Trafford, the club need to do everything within their power to bring him over here.
In your view, should Man Utd make an offer worth £58m-£62m to sign Viktor Gyokeres?
