Arsenal, Man Utd Warned Against Signing €70M-Rated Newcastle, PSG-Linked Scorer

Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with several attacking players as 2025 nears. Among the players that the Ligue 1 McDonald’s leaders are connected to is Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres.

Foot Mercato recently reported that Luís Campos is rethinking his partnership with Luis Enrique and has shown interest in signing Gyökeres. Campos has already reached out to the striker’s representatives, although conversations with Enrique have revealed some concerns from the coach.

Meanwhile, SPORT indicates that Barcelona are considering a €70 million offer for Gyökeres, which could include loaning him back to Sporting for another season.

Additionally, CaughtOffside has reported that Newcastle are prepared to make a major move for Gyökeres if Alexander Isak leaves the club. However, this transfer is unlikely to happen during the January window.

Could PSG have less competition for Viktor Gyökeres?

Gyökeres has quickly become one of the most in-demand players in world football, thanks to his remarkable goal-scoring record for Sporting Lisbon. With an impressive 69 goals in just 74 appearances, the Swedish forward has caught the eye of many.

However, Troy Deeney isn’t entirely convinced, claiming Gyökeres is “not a natural goalscorer” and wouldn’t be the difference-maker for Arsenal or Manchester United in their quest for the Premier League title.

“I genuinely think he’s a good footballer, he works really hard, all of that, but I don’t think he’s a natural finisher,” Deeney said on talkSPORT (h/t The Mirror).

“And again, everyone is going to pull up his goal record, I get that. But I don’t think he takes either of those two to winning the Premier League. That’s just my opinion, and if he did, they’d have already bought him.”
