One of the crucial coveted gamers in European soccer has been urged to snub Manchester United in favour of a transfer to Liverpool.
With Ruben Amorim having just lately left Sporting Lisbon to take the reins at Outdated Trafford, it comes as no shock to see the Pink Devils being linked with a transfer for Viktor Gyokeres, who’s already struck 23 goals in 18 matches for the Portuguese champions this season.
The Merseyside giants have additionally been credited with a powerful curiosity within the Swedish striker (Florian Plettenberg), and quite a few LFC followers are unsurprisingly begging for Richard Hughes to snap up the massively prolific 26-year-old, who has a lofty £85m release clause.
Pipa hoping Gyokeres snubs United for Liverpool
Talking to Mais Futebol, CNN presenter Andre Pipa acknowledged that Amorim becoming a member of Man United may incentivise Gyokeres to comply with him from Lisbon to Outdated Trafford, though he’s hoping that the ex-Coventry ahead will as an alternative signal for an additional powerhouse of England’s northwest.
The reporter mentioned: “They [United] have a coach who is aware of him, and I don’t know what Gyokeres’ thought is, whether or not he likes it or not.
“I personally choose to see him at Liverpool, but when he has to go to United, I believe it’s a nice contract for Amorim, as a result of Amorim is aware of him and the participant is aware of the coach. You recognize, there’s a risk, sure.”
Think about if Liverpool had Gyokeres!
For anybody who may dismiss Gyokeres’ unimaginable objective tally as mere stat-padding towards mundane opposition in Portugal, our message can be to assume once more.
Regardless of the division during which he’s taking part in, to have scored 23 objectives in 18 matches is an outstanding return. He’s already netted 5 instances within the Champions League too, most notably claiming a well-known hat-trick in Sporting’s 4-1 demolition of Manchester Metropolis a fortnight in the past (Transfermarkt).
Neither is his type this season a whole bolt from the blue, because the Swede struck 43 objectives final time period to provide him an insane tally of 66 in 68 appearances for his present membership. These are the type of figures you’d affiliate with one other Scandinavian hotshot in Erling Haaland.
FSG might need repute for frugality, however they confirmed with the acquisitions of Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk that they’re not averse to spending huge on gamers with the potential to immediately remodel one place within the squad.
Even with Liverpool already boasting a fearsome ahead line, it’d be a unprecedented assertion of intent in the event that they had been to signal Gyokeres subsequent 12 months – significantly if they’ll deprive Amorim of a reunion with the striker at United – and one which’d have Reds followers rejoicing.
