TRANSFER LATEST: Viktor Gyökeres was seen at Old Trafford this morning signing autographs for Manchester United fans, with his medical reportedly set to take place within the next 24 hours — exciting news for the United faithful.

The Swedish striker, currently starring at Sporting CP, has become one of Europe’s most prolific forwards, with 96 goals in 101 appearances.

While both Arsenal and Manchester United have shown strong interest, the Red Devils have remained firmly in the race, thanks in part to Gyökeres’ existing connection with current manager and former Sporting coach, Ruben Amorim.

Despite Arsenal’s Champions League qualification making them an attractive destination, and new sporting director Andrea Berta being a known admirer, Gyökeres has added uncertainty to the mix.

When asked by Portuguese outlet A Bola*l whether he preferred London or Lisbon, he answered: “I prefer Lisbon because I live here now. And yes, I like living here,” giving little away about his future.

Adding to the intrigue, his uncle recently claimed the family agreed Gyökeres should stay at Sporting for at least another season. However, the player himself clarified that no final decision has been made regarding his next move.

Still, today’s appearance at Old Trafford — along with reports of an imminent medical — suggests Manchester United may be edging closer to finalizing one of the summer’s most high-profile transfers.
