Viktor Gyokeres quizzed on summer transfer amid '£9m Arsenal offer' reports

Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres has said he does not know what the future holds for him amid reported interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.

The Sweden international’s stunning form in front of goal this season has seen him attract interest from the Premier League.

A move in summer transfer window is widely expected, with reports claiming Arsenal are leading the race for Gyokeres’ signature as negotiations with Sporting are now at an advanced stage.

The aforementioned report also states the Gunners have offered the prolific a five-year deal worth almost £9m per season.

Gyokeres placed any speculation regarding his future to one side on Saturday evening as he scored his 39th league goal of the campaign to ensure Sporting overcame Vitoria to be crowned champions of Portugal.

Immediately after the game, the 26-year-old was asked if that was his farewell appearance at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.

He said to Sport TV: "It's football, I'm still here. I don't know what's going to happen. Nobody can predict the future.”

Instead Gyokeres wanted to focus on the victory that clinched the title and look ahead to the final of the Taça de Portugal against Benfica next Sunday.

He added: “I'm very happy, it was a game that went well for us. Very happy to score and win.

"Everything, it's what we wanted. Incredible. We can see the support we've had. So many people in the streets, not just today, but even when it's raining in November and December.

“It's incredible when there are so many people. Now we want to celebrate together."

"We are in the final, we want to win in the finals. We play the finals to win. But now we want to celebrate and not think about that.”
