Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 27-year-old Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool have been hoping to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, but it is proving increasingly difficult to sign the Swedish international. So, the Reds have now identified his compatriot Viktor Gyokeres as an alternative, according to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football.

Meanwhile, the 27-year-old striker is open to joining Manchester United as per a report by TEAMtalk. The Swede has been linked with Arsenal in recent weeks. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. All three clubs will be attractive destinations for Gyokeres, who is currently one of the most prolific attackers in world football.

The Swede scored 54 goals in all competitions last season, and he will look to make his mark at the highest level. There is no doubt that the Sporting CP striker has shown his ability in Portugal, but he needs to join an elite club to truly establish himself as one of the best players in the world.

Liverpool could provide him with that opportunity. The Premier League champions need a quality striker to replace Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan international is expected to join Italian champion Napoli this summer. He has been quite underwhelming for Liverpool, and the Reds need a reliable goalscorer.

The Swedish international certainly has the quality to improve Liverpool going forward, and it remains to be seen whether the Reds can negotiate his signing for a reasonable amount of money. However, he remains a backup target as long as Liverpool pursue Alexander Isak’s signature.

Arsenal and Manchester United linked with Gyokeres

Meanwhile, Arsenal are keen on signing the player as well. The Gunners need an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus if they want to win major trophies. The lack of a quality striker has hurt them in recent years, and they will look to solve that problem this summer. Similarly, Manchester United also need a quality striker.

Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have been quite underwhelming, and the Red Devils need to improve in that area of the pitch if they want to fight for major trophies. Manchester United were in the bottom half of the table last season, and they will look to bounce back strongly. The 27-year-old Swede could improve all three clubs. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
