Viktor Gyokeres has finally ‘made up his mind’ on the club he wants to join in January

Sporting Clube de Portugal star man Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly decided his next club.

Gyokeres is one of the most sought-after players in Europe after yet another fine start to the season.

So far, the Swedish international has scored 24 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions. The 26-year-old also has four assists to his name.

As a result of his spectacular form, Gyokeres has been linked with a host of different clubs around the continent, including the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona.

However, since Ruben Amorim left Sporting for Old Trafford, reports linking Gyokeres with a move to United have picked up.

It has now been claimed that the striker has made up his mind on which club he wants to join in the future.

As reported by The Sun, Gyokeres has his eyes set on a move to Old Trafford, in what would be a reunion with former boss Amorim.

The report stated: “SunSport understands Sporting Lisbon striker Gyokeres has his heart set on a move to the Premier League and a reunion with ex-boss Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.”

Before joining United, Amorim was asked about potentially reuniting with Gyokeres at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese said: “No, no, no. I cannot be funny with that in this moment. It was tough for me to leave, if I start joking about that with Gyokeres, I’ll have problems. This is my city, this is my country, I will respect.

“Viktor has to stay until the end of the season and then his life is going, maybe, somewhere else.”

When asked about about Amorim, Gyokeres himself said: “We will miss him a lot, of course.

“We achieved a lot together and we will miss him and the other members of the staff, but they are leaving and we have to move on and face the next challenge we have.”

Gyokeres is set to start for Sporting as they resume their UEFA Champions League campaign against Arsenal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Tuesday night.
