United and Arsenal have both held talks for the 27-year-old goal machine but a European giant has burst into the frame, as per a report

Arsenal are not simply circling names; they are deep into discussions. According to John Cross of The Mirror, the club is weighing up two major options — Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon and Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig — in what has been described as a kind of “beauty pageant”.

Fabrizio Romano further added that it is Gyökeres's ‘priority.’ A twist in Arsenal's striker transfer saga given their reported interest in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško.

ARSENAL have a HUGE summer of business to take care of in the transfer market. Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly made it his priority to push through a move to Arsenal after snubbing Manchester

But while Gyokeres is keen to push through a switch to the Emirates, the player’s agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, has become embroiled in a bitter feud with Sporting’s president, Frederico Varandas, over a proposed transfer fee for the Primeira Liga top scorer.

Arsenal are searching for a new striker this summer with both Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko both under consideration ahead of the transfer window reopening
