Viktor Gyokeres next club: Arsenal favourites ahead of Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool

Viktor Gyokeres is one of the hottest properties on the market ahead of the summer transfer window opening in the next few months.

The 26-year-old has hit an incredible 56 goals in just 46 appearances for club Sporting Lisbon and country Sweden this season to put him at the top of shortlists around Europe.

Gyokeres has been heavily linked with a move away from Sporting at the end of the season and courtesy of Ladbrokes we have got odds on where he could be playing his football next term.

Arsenal - 5/4

Desperate for a centre forward for the last few years, the situation has been made even more extreme by injuries to strikers Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Gyokeres would fit the bill perfectly for Gunners fans who have been crying out for a targetman like the 6ft 2in star, who already has English football experience from his time at Brighton, Swansea and Coventry.

Given the Swede’s immense goalscoring prowess, thinking of how he might fare being supplied by the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice should be enough to send the Emirates hierarchy on the next direct flight to Lisbon.

Manchester United - 5/2

Gyokeres has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and it’s not hard to see why.

United boss Ruben Amorim managed Gyokeres in Portugal for just over a year, with the pair key to the club’s Primeira Liga title in 2023/24.

Amorim has inherited a tricky striker situation at Old Trafford with both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund struggling for goals.

Hojlund - a £64million arrival from Atalanta - has scored just nine goals this season, while Zirkzee joined from Bologna for £36.5m last summer and has bagged seven times.

Gyokeres is expected to cost a fair bit more than those fees but his pedigree could be just what Amorim needs to turn around the Red Devils’ fortunes.

Chelsea - 10/1

Chelsea could give Gyokeres a new home in the capital of London as they are no stranger to forking out big money for players.

The odds of the Stockholm-born star ending up at Stamford Bridge seem unlikely at the moment though, particularly if Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku both stay at the club this summer.

There have been noises of Nkunku moving away, which could see the odds tumble on Gyokeres going to Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid - 12/1

Atletico would provide an option outside of the Premier League for Gyokeres, but a remote one given the hefty £82m they splashed out on acquiring Julian Alvarez from Manchester City last summer.

Alvarez has notched 27 goals in all competitions while fellow striker Alexander Sorloth has managed 17 - suggesting Diego Simeone would be better off reinforcing other areas of his squad.

Liverpool - 12/1

Mohammed Salah extending his Liverpool contract for a further two years was a huge relief to everyone of a red persuasion on Merseyside - and has probably removed any need for the Reds to sign a new striker.

Salah has 33 goals in all competitions this season, while Cody Gakpo (17), Luis Diaz (16) and Diogo Jota (9) have all chipped in with admirable contributions.

However, Darwin Nunez (7) has struggled to recapture the form that earned him a £64m move to Anfield in 2022 and signing Gyokeres would only begin to look realistic if they were to move him on first.
