Juventus are now said to be leading the race to sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres after both Arsenal and Manchester United cooled their pursuits of the Sweden international.
One of the most in-demand strikers in the world heading into the summer transfer window, the saga surrounding Gyökeres has proven to be increasingly confusing in recent days. It emerged last week that the 27-year-old was left “furious” by Sporting’s alleged failure to abide by a gentleman’s agreement to agree to a sale below his release clause of €100 million (£85.1 million, $115.4 million).
