Arsenal are trying to win the race to Manchester United to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Victor Dioqueres. This is reported by The Independent.

According to a source, the Gunners could be ahead of the Red Devils as the Londoners are considering a move for the Swedish forward this winter due to a serious injury to striker Gabriel Jesus.

In turn, the Mancunians are going to use the warm relationship between Djokeres and the head coach of Manchester United Ruben Amorim in the negotiation process, but they will be able to make an official offer only in the summer.

The player’s current contract with the club runs until June 30, 2028. Transfermarkt estimates it at 75 million. euro.

This season, Victor Djokeresh played 30 matches for Sporting, scoring 32 goals and providing 6 assists.
