Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting has told Manchester United that he will not be moving to Old Trafford and is focused on joining Arsenal. The Swedish striker wants to contend for the Premier League championship and feels he must sign with a Champions League team for the upcoming campaign. The Red Devils are ready to step up their interest in Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt, but they have already started looking at other possibilities.
After scoring 22 goals for the German team the previous season, the France Under-21 international has also drawn interest from Liverpool. However, before United would make an offer, Frankfurt's £80 million value of the former Paris Saint-Germain forward would need to be drastically lowered. Andrea Berta, sporting director of Arsenal, is committed to adding some aggressive players to Mikel Arteta's team in order to increase their goal total for the upcoming campaign.
