Manchester United target move for Francisco Trincao

Manchester United are interested in a deal for Francisco Trincao, reports claim.

A summer of significant change lies ahead at Old Trafford with Ruben Amorim widely expected to overhaul his consistently underperforming squad.

However, he apparently needs to sell players before he can buy, with reports this week that at least 10 could be on the way out at the end of the current season.

Focus will then turn to new additions, with the Daily Mirror reporting that Amorim is keen to raid former club Sporting Lisbon for Portugal winger Trincao, who also played under his compatriot at Braga.

However, Arsenal and Newcastle have also been linked with the 25-year-old rated at around £30m, with Barcelona also inserting a buy-back clause in their deal to sell him to Sporting in 2023.

Trincao is no stranger to English football, having spent the 2021/22 season on loan at Wolves.

Arsenal and Manchester United get huge Viktor Gyokeres boost

Arsenal and Manchester United have reportedly been handed a key boost in the race to sign Viktor Gyokeres.

The former Coventry striker is in huge demand after a prolific couple of years in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon in which he has scored 83 goals in just 91 appearances so far.

Most of the biggest clubs in Europe have been linked with Gyokeres in recent months in some form or another, though Arsenal and Manchester United - the latter managed by ex-Sporting boss Ruben Amorim - appear to be the two main suitors in the fierce battle for his signature as both seek major forward upgrades this summer.

Reports from Portugal cited by the Daily Mirror now claim that Sporting have agreed with Gyokeres that he will be permitted to depart the Estadio Jose Alvalade if a team offers a transfer fee in the region of £50.2m-£58.5m.

Arsenal and Tottenham set for Matheus Cunha battle

A transfer battle could be brewing between Arsenal and Tottenham over Matheus Cunha.

The Brazilian forward has really caught the eye this season with his performances for Wolves, where had scored 15 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions before receiving a three-match ban that has since been extended to four games.

Arsenal’s new incoming sporting director Andrea Berta previously signed Cunha for Atletico Madrid and really wants to bring both him and Martin Zubimendi to the Emirates Stadium this summer, per GIVEMESPORT.

However, rival reports suggest that north London rivals Tottenham are lining up an ambitious double raid on Wolves worth in excess of £100m to try and sign both Cunha and his midfield compatriot Joao Gomes.

Chelsea have option to send Jadon Sancho back to Man Utd

Chelsea have a decision to make over Jadon Sancho.

The winger is currently on a season-long loan at Stamford Bridge from Manchester United, where his initially promising form has given way to a prolonged period of indifferent performances.

Chelsea’s loan deal for Sancho included the obligation for a £25m permanent transfer this summer.

However, The Athletic report that the Blues can choose to pay a set fee of £5m to United to not go through with that.

Chelsea will decide on what to do over the next couple of months, with Sancho apparently happy to stay put.
