Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres picks next club as massive move teased
Arsenal are hoping to add some new faces to their squad this summer having been linked to Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Nico Williams and some moves look close to completion Arsenal have yet to add a new face to their squad this summer - but that could all be about to change very soon. The Gunners are chasing a host of stars across a number of positions. A new striker is right at the top of Mikel Arteta 's summer shopping list and a number of options have been identified. Benjamin Sesko looked to be their favoured candidate but Viktor Gyokeres now appears more likely to move to North London. Elsewhere, a midfielder is also a priority, with Martin Zubimendi closing in on a switch. Competition from Real Madrid caused a late issue but it appears that Arsenal have almost won the race. Finally, Kepa Arrizabalaga looks set to complete a move from Chelsea. For all of that and more, take a look at the latest rumours from Arsenal: Gyokeres picks Arsenal Arsenal's chances of signing Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres have been given a massive boost after he rejected a move to Manchester United. The Gunners were previously battling with the Red Devils to sign the Swedish striker. Given Ruben Amorim's presence at Old Trafford, United appeared to be the favourites. But according to reports, Gyokeres has rejected a switch to Old Trafford and has now expressed his desire to sign for Arsenal. He has used his representatives to express that preference, with negotiations between Sporting and Arsenal underway. It is also suggested that should the clubs struggle to find an agreement, that could force the North Londoners to pay his £85m release clause. Yamal teases transfer While Gyokeres now looks set to be on his way to the Emirates, one man who won't be joining him is Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams. The Spaniard was previously identified as a potential addition to the Gunners' wide positions. But as per reports in Spain, La Liga giants Barcelona have relaunched talks to sign him. Barcelona chief Deco has held discussions with the player's agent Felix Tainta and Williams is open to a move to the Camp Nou. Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has already hinted at a move having shared an image of the pair celebrating on his Instagram story just minutes after the update was issued. Gabriel approves Rodrygo move Arsenal star Gabriel has given the green light to Arsenal pursuing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo as an alternative to Williams. He said: "I don't know. "I would like it, but who knows? Rodrygo for me is a phenomenon. People are mentioning his name a lot. If it depended on me, of course. As I said, he's a phenomenon." Rodrygo has already been linked with a move to the Emirates this summer. His contract is set to run until 2028. Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Ruben Amorim handed double transfer blow as top target rejects Man Utd move
Ruben Amorim is desperate to land some top quality signings to overhaul his struggling Manchester United squad and he has already taken the first step by landing Wolves forward Matheus Cunha Manchester United have a lot of work to do to return to the Premier League 's summit after their difficult first season under Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach could not arrest the team's alarming slide down the table as they ended up finishing 15th and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham - but now he is aiming to bounce back by securing a raft of top signings. United have already brought in forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62m and are hoping to snap up Brentford frontman Bryan Mbeumo too - despite being rivalled by Spurs. Amorim will also be hoping to shift a number of unwanted stars that will give him more room to manoeuvre in the transfer market amid the club's perilous financial situation. With that in mind, Mirror Football has taken a look through the biggest Manchester United transfer news and gossip. Gyokeres rejects United Without doubt the biggest news in the last 24 hours is a report from Portuguese outlet Record, which claims Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres has turned down the chance to move to Old Trafford. The Swedish forward has been one of United's top targets since Amorim became the club's new head coach - after previously working with Gyokeres at Lisbon. United have watched the player underline his ability and reputation as one of the world's best strikers after netting 53 goals in all competitions But after the Red Devils missed out on Champions League football, it was always going to be an uphill battle for the club to attract Gyokeres, especially with rivals Arsenal also in the mix for his signature. The report claims Gyokeres' agent has informed United he does not want to join them, with Arsenal now securing the upper hand. It has been previously reported that Sporting have rejected a £55m bid for Gyokeres, which is said to have triggered anger from the striker, who said: "There is a lot of talks at the moment, most of it is false. I will speak when the time is right." Leverkusen pull out of Garnacho race Another blow for Amorim. The United head coach is eager to shift some of his deadwood - particularly Alejandro Garnacho after falling out with the player. But Sky in Germany are reporting that Bayer Leverkusen are now "unlikely" to make a bid for the Argentine due to the mounting "package of transfer fee and wages" being too high for the German club. United are said to have slapped a £70m price tag on the player despite his difficult season for United. He scored ten goals and assisted nine but only stated 23 games in the Premier League out of a possible 38 and was dropped by Amorim for a number of games. Leverkusen are looking to build after agreeing to let Florian Wirtz join Liverpool for around £116.5m but are unwilling to break the bank for Garnacho. A move to Leverkusen would see the winger reunite with former United boss Erik ten Hag, who has just taken over the Bundesliga side. Garnacho's future at United looks bleak after he was dropped by Amorim for the Europa League final, with the player speaking after the game to question the manager's decision and admitting the team's season was "s***". United set to welcome Leon One silver lining for United amid a string of set-backs. Some supporters might have forgotten they actually agreed a move for a young talent called Diego Leon from Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno for around £7m. Left-back Leon has previously earned comparisons to Wayne Rooney given his similar impact at a young age and buzzcut hairstyle. United paid an initial £3.3m with add-ons for the 18-year-old's services but allowed him to stay with the club until the summer. The club will now welcome Leon to their camp at the start of July and his arrival should provide a boost to Amorim as a hungry, young player who wants to add competition and push for a place. Last season he played 28 times for Porteno, scoring three goals, and will now link up with a number of young players United are attempting to develop, including Ayden Heaven, Chido-Obi and Sekou Kone.

Brighton star risks wrath of fans by admitting his dream to sign for Liverpool
Liverpool have been very busy when it comes to the transfer market this summer and it appears another Premier League stars fancies a switch to Anfield in the near future Brighton star Igor Julio has revealed he fancies a move to Liverpool after urging a teammate to sign for the Reds. The Brazilian defender only signed for the Seagulls in 2023 from Italian side Fiorentina. Since then, he has gone on to make 49 appearances over two seasons. Despite his limited opportunities, the 27-year-old has claimed it would be his dream to become a Liverpool player in the near future, while also urging Brighton 's star striker Joao Pedro to pursue a similar switch to Anfield. 'Joao Pedro had already told Brighton some time ago that his desire was to leave, seek new things, take the next step,' Igor told Trivela. 'It seems it will be difficult and complicated for him to stay here. 'We have to be honest, the club already knows that. (I'm) very happy for him. He deserves it. He's been here in England for five years and hasn't played for a big team yet. It's his moment, his time, so he can make the best decision and be happy wherever he is. 'He always told me that he really wants to live in London, so I think he will prioritise what comes from there first. 'I told [Pedro] that he has to think about what he wants from his career. In my opinion, if I were going to a 'Big Six' team, I would go to a team that fights for the Premier League, plays in the Champions League and is always in a position to win. 'I would go to a Liverpool team and I think he would fit in perfectly at Liverpool. It's because I've always dreamed of playing for Liverpool and I would go there.' Igor, 27, still has two years left to run on his contract with Brighton following his £14m move from Fiorentina. The defender has been backed to have plenty of interest in his services heading into the second part of the summer transfer window. But it appears unlikely that Liverpool will be among the clubs tracking him. Arne Slot 's side are well stocked at centre-back, with Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Jarrel Quansah all capable of playing in the position. That situation could change should either of the latter two decide to move on over the coming months having been linked with moves away. But even then, Liverpool appear likely to have their own targets. Former Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen was linked with a move ahead of his £50m switch to Real Madrid. Goncalo Inacio has also been mentioned but as it stands, Liverpool are focusing their efforts on getting deals for Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez over the line.
