Viktor Gyokeres’ representative has accused Sporting CP of creating a ‘mess’ by offering Manchester United the chance to sign the striker ahead of Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s side finally completed their £64 million deal to sign the 27-year-old last weekend following several weeks of negotiations with the Portuguese champions.

Gyokeres is a forward-thinking player who loves to run in behind, work the channels, and his first thought on the ball is whether he can shoot. However, he’s not an archetypal penalty-box poacher; aerial duels and receiving crosses aren’t his biggest strengths.
