Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has, reportedly, set an impending deadline for the club to finalise a deal for Viktor Gyokeres - who is admired by Manchester United.

Meanwhile, the same report claims that Arsenal are making significant progress with a £70m move for Sporting star Gyokeres. New sporting director Andrea Berta is said to have been a key force behind the deal, and believes the 27-year-old striker can make an immediate impact.

According to Jacobs, Manchester United could go for Benjamin Sesko if Gyokeres does end up in north London. Sesko has also been linked to Arsenal in a move that could be worth £67m, and it could be a case of United picking up the scraps based on which striker Arsenal don’t sign this summer.
