Gyökeres’s final home outing under Amorim’s watch saw him plunder a hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League. The defending Portuguese champions were unbeaten across all competitions at the time Amorim was poached by United.

Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres has ‘sacrificed’ some of his own salary in order to boost the Gunners’ bid to land the striker from Sporting CP, according to reports. The Gunners have already completed the signings of Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga from Real Sociedad and Chelsea respectively,

A deal has not been finalized for the Swedish striker, but it appears he has emerged as Arsenal's favored option in a summer where they have also been in negotiations with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko. The Bundesliga side have held firm on their price tag for the young Slovenian striker, believed to be $94 million.
