The former Brighton and Coventry striker has been linked with a move to Manchester United to play under former manager Ruben Amorim, as well as Arsenal. But reports from Portugal suggest that Liverpool are working to secure Gyokeres’ signature before their rivals can get a deal done.

According to the Portuguese outlet A Bola, Sporting CP's striker has a list of clubs he would prefer to sign for, and Liverpool feature on that list, but the Gunners are leading the race for the forward at present. It was previously claimed that Gyokeres would be allowed to leave Sporting if a set valuation was met.
