Tussle for Gyokeres
Reports suggest Manchester United and Arsenal continue to battle it out for Viktor Gyokeres.
The Swede is one of Europe’s most in-demand strikers and has 47 goals in his last 46 games for Sporting Lisbon.

Carragher believes in ... Arsenal
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal have real a chance at lifting Big Ears – but not because they’re the stand-out team.
The ex-Liverpool centre-back said: “All four teams are the same.
“Sometimes you’ll have a Real Madrid, Man City or Liverpool in there where you’d say they’re one of the favourites.
“I don’t know who the favourites are. Barcelona are really poor defensively.
“Mikel Arteta is a brilliant manager, he’s done brilliantly well. We’re at that stage where he needs a trophy.”
