Manchester United have made informal contact over a deal to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Jekeres this summer, according to สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน .
The Sweden international is Ruben Amorim’s number one target for the forward position this summer, with the player set to replace Liam Delap, who has already agreed a move to Chelsea.
The report also adds that if a move for Jekeres, who is reported to cost in the region of £60m,
United will have to sell at least one of their top earners and Amorim is believed to be keen to sign the former centre-forward.
Jekeres will undoubtedly bring a goal-scoring ability that United are desperately looking for at Old Trafford next season.
Knowing Amorim well and having worked with the manager at Sporting is an added bonus and the United manager should know how to get the best out of him.
Gyokeres helped fire Sporting to a Liga Portugal triumph last year. But the Lions went one better this season, retaining their title while also securing the Taça de Portugal with a 3-1 win over local rivals Benfica.
United, by contrast, have endured their worst campaign in the Premier League era, finishing 15th while breaking (unwanted) records in terms of position, points, losses, and goals scored.
Only four clubs scored fewer goals than Amorim’s side – Everton and the three relegated clubs, Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton. The senior striking partnership of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combined for just seven league goals between them, despite totalling £100 million in transfer fees across successive windows.
However, the lack of European football could make convincing the player to move on difficult, especially with the likes of Arsenal still interested.
