Man United are ready to land their most favourite target this summer. The player is also wanted by their rivals Arsenal but the Red Devils have been handed the boost.
Man United are keen to have a major summer overhaul. They faced a very tough season due to which they are ready to sell many of the current players. Ruben Amorim will be backed by the board and the Portugese has already identified positions he wants to improve.
The Portugese boss wants to resolve the goal scoring issue. As a result, United are keen to sign a new striker. They are likely to be seen parting ways with both Hojlund and Zirkzee. The both former Serie A players have failed to impress at Old Trafford.
Earlier, United were keen to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. But, they have failed to do so as Delap has opted to join Chelsea. The Blues paid Β£30 million for the 22 year old. Hence, United are looking at other options and are already very close to land a clinical striker.
Man United closing in on Swedish striker
The star in question here is Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker has been superb ever since joining Sporting. He is wanted by United since a very long time. But, the player also has interest from Arsenal. The Red Devils are now handed a major boost in Gyokeres race.
According to The Sun, United are ready to land Viktor Gyokeres. The striker has β¬100 million release clause but Sporting are ready to sell him for β¬70 million. The report states that United have improved financially due to the brutal price cutting by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Gyokeres has already played under Ruben Amorim. He will directly get into starting lineup at United. As for Arsenal, they are advancing in talks with Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian has been top target of Mikel Arteta since last summer.
