Arsenal: Sporting chief confirms Viktor Gyokeres ‘answer’ amid £59m bid reports

The striker is expected to be on the move this summer but Francisco Salgado Zenha has issued to warning to all suitors

Sporting vice-president Francisco Salgado Zenha says the club are yet to receive any offers for Viktor Gyokeres and will not be strong-armed into selling their best players.

Gyokeres is attracting plenty of interest this summer, including from Arsenal, after scoring over 50 goals last season.

Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old, who is expected to be on the move when the transfer window opens.

Sporting vice-president Zenha, however, has stressed how they are under no financial pressure to sell and no offers have been made for Gyokeres yet.

“He has three more years on his contract,” Zenha told reporters in Portugal.

“At the moment there are no offers, he has three more years on his contract. I think the answer has been given.

“[Sporting’s transfer plans] won’t be any different from last year. We want to keep the best players and retain talent. We want to continue to be champions, have competitive teams and fight on all fronts.
