Transfer news LIVE: Kyle Walker asks to LEAVE Man City, Arsenal ‘make contact with Rashford’ – latest updates

“A slight advance”

As well as describing Alexander Isak as the “perfect signing” for Manchester United, treble-winning Teddy Sheringham also spoke about another striker: Viktor Gyokeres.

But while he clearly values ​​Sporting’s goal machine, he doesn’t think United should bet on him.

He told BoyleSports: Man Utd signing Viktor Gyokeres would be tough for Rasmus Hojlund.

“Hojlund has been eating scraps for the last 18 months and I think he has done very well to get on the scoresheet the number of times he has.

“Gyokeres may be a small step forward, but when you go out and spend the money they spent on Hojlund instead of betting on Harry Kane at the time, they obviously think he’s a good player.

“He is still learning his trade and is still a young man. Gyokeres is proven in Portugal, but the Premier League is a different game, especially when it comes to progressing week in, week out.

“His confidence is high in Portugal, but it would take him time to adapt and bringing him in would also hurt Hojlund’s prospects.”
