Gunners Lead Race for £60m Sporting Star While Man Utd & City Eye Their Own Moves
Arsenal have identified Sporting CP’s red-hot striker Viktor Gyökeres as their primary summer transfer target, according to the Daily Mirror. The Swedish forward headlines a three-man shortlist that includes Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško, with new sporting director Andrea Berta driving the pursuit.
The North London club have reportedly learned that a £60 million bid could seal the deal for the 26-year-old, who would command wages exceeding £200,000 weekly. Arsenal are also monitoring Athletic Club’s explosive winger Nico Williams and Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García as they plan a squad refresh.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are casting a wide net for attacking reinforcements. The Red Devils are tracking Nottingham Forest’s resurgent Callum Hudson-Odoi – whose five goals this season have also attracted Roma and Napoli – and Bournemouth’s breakout star Antoine Semenyo. The Ghanaian forward has been a revelation with 14 goal contributions this campaign, though the Cherries hold him under contract until 2029.
United’s transfer plans could receive a significant boost if they defeat Tottenham in the Europa League final, with Southampton’s Tyler Dibling emerging as a potential midfield target should Champions League football return to Old Trafford.
Elsewhere, Manchester City have made initial contact with AC Milan regarding Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. Despite the 26-year-old’s recent contract extension through 2030, The Athletic reports his openness to a Premier League move after a strong season featuring 10 goals across all competitions.
On the continent, PSG are reportedly scouting Valencia’s 20-year-old defensive prospect Cristhian Mosquera, who could be available at a reduced fee as his club seeks to balance the books. Club Brugge’s Joel Ordóñez also features on the French giants’ radar after his impressive European performances, though his price tag could reach €30 million.
As the summer window approaches, Europe’s elite are laying the groundwork for what promises to be another frenetic transfer season, with Premier League clubs once again poised to lead the spending charge.
