Ruben Amorim addresses Viktor Gyokeres’ Manchester United transfer as Coventry City watch on
Coventry City are awaiting Viktor Gyokeres’ blockbusting transfer and the windfall that will come with it
The speculation surrounding Viktor Gyokeres’ future is reaching fever-pitch with Arsenal and Manchester United both said to be closing in on the former Coventry City ace.
The Swede, who has scored an incredible seven goals in his last two games alone for Sporting, has been reported to have commenced talks with Gunners, whilst other outlets claims his move to Old Trafford is a ‘done deal’.
Wherever he goes, what is known is that having taken him from Brighton and giving him a platform to excel, the Sky Blues are set for a slice of any transfer pie. With 52 goals just this season – and 95 in 98 games for the Portuguese club that pie will be a very large one.
However, the chances of him joining United seem affected by the Red Devils’ dire Premier League season and the fact their Champions League prospects are hanging by a thread – only a Europa League triumph would see them qualify for a competition Gyokeres clearly wants to play in.
Speaking about any imminent deal Amorim told Portuguese channel Sport TV: “I didn’t talk to him. But if a player only wants to come to Man United to play Champions League, then he won’t come. We want players who want to represent United, not players who want to play certain competitions.”
