Although Manchester United were initially interested in signing Gyokeres due to his connection with manager Ruben Amorim, it seems they have lost interest in him this summer. They have recently signed Matheus Cunha and are no longer pursuing other targets, like Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. Meanwhile, Arsenal remains a strong contender to sign Gyokeres, as their manager, Mikel Arteta, is seeking attacking reinforcements.

Reports suggest that Arteta wants to sign Gyokeres before Arsenal's tour of Asia in July, where they will face AC Milan, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur. If the move goes through, Gyokeres would be joining Arsenal during his prime and could provide the attacking services they missed out on last season due to injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
