Manchester United and Arsenal are both in the hunt for Viktor Gyokeres, but it now looks like former club Coventry City will not earn anything from a sale despite previously agreeing a sell-on clause

Viktor Gyokeres' decision to go on strike at Sporting has highlighted a major transfer concern ahead of a potential Premier League switch to Manchester United or Arsenal. The 27-year-old Swedish international has been heavily linked with a move away from Sporting after another impressive season in the Portuguese top flight.

A Bola also claim Arsenal are ‘in a hurry’ to conclude the deal with Gyokeres also keen on the move to north London. Arsenal must now agree a fee with Sporting with club president Frederico Varandas yesterday accusing Gyokeres’ agent of trying to ‘threaten and blackmail’ the Portuguese champions.
