Viktor Gyokeres is determined to force through a move to the Premier League this summer, talkSPORT understands.<\/strong><\/p>\n Arsenal<\/a> and Manchester United<\/a> have both held talks with Gyokeres’ advisers.<\/p>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> It comes after the Swedish striker posted a cryptic message to social media amid speculation surrounding his future.<\/p>\n His remarks appeared to be in response to the Sporting Lisbon president’s claim<\/a> the club would not be accepting a low fee for Gyokeres.<\/p>\n Previous indications had suggested the Portuguese side would accept a bid around \u00a365million, some way below his \u00a385million release clause.<\/p>\n Frederico Varandas told reporters: \u201cI don’t know if it is going to be 40, 60, or 80. What I can guarantee is I won’t demand 100 million euros (\u00a385m).<\/p>\n \u201cI didn’t speak to the agent again after that, I never spoke to the player about exits or figures. Now I see in the press that the agent is releasing information.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to make something clear: Sporting has good judgement and sticks to its word.<\/p>\n \u201cGyokeres has scored 63 goals and made 10 assists. A fantastic performance. Easily among the best players to grace Portuguese pitches. And Sporting will not demand the release clause.<\/p>\n \u201cSporting will not accept blackmail or insults now. One thing is certain: Sporting will not accept 60 million plus 10 (\u00a351.5 plus \u00a38.5m). As of today, Sporting has not received any proposal for Gyokeres.”<\/p>\n Sharing his thoughts on the saga, Gyokeres wrote on Instagram: “There is a lot of talk at the moment, most of it is false.<\/p>\n “I will speak when the time is right.”<\/p>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> The 27-year-old is understood to be open to joining United<\/a> even though the Red Devils cannot offer Champions League football.<\/p>\n Arsenal are also amongst the front-runners for his signature ahead of next season.<\/p>\n The Gunners have also held talks with RB Leipzig<\/a> over alternative target Benjamin Sesko as they eye a new striker.<\/p>\n Gyokeres still has three years remaining on his Sporting deal, having signed for the club from Coventry in 2023.<\/p>\n![\"Arsenal](\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/09-viktor-gyokeres-poses-trophy-995744921.jpg?strip=all&w=960\")
