If things were not already hard enough for Manchester United and Arsenal as they try to secure the signature of Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres, it will not get any easier now Liverpool have entered the race for the Sweden international. The 27-year-old is thought to be unhappy with his club for pricing him out of a move. Sporting want around £85m to part with their main man and Liverpool will need to get close to that if they want to beat their rivals to him.
With Nottingham Forest not keen to sell Anthony Elanga, Newcastle are having to look elsewhere for a new winger. PSV’s Johan Bakayoko and Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi are the next couple of names on the shortlist as they weigh up their options.
