Premier League reigning champions Manchester City are set battle rivals Manchester United for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokers.

The 26-year-old will likely leave the Portuguese giants in the summer, and several European heavyweights are ready to meet his £65 million buyout clause.

Former Sporting coach Ruben Amorim is keen on bringing the Swede to United. However, the Red Devils will be competing with their city rivals for the striker, as reported by The Sun.

Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Arsenal have all been linked with Gyokeres in the past as well.

The Sweden international is on fire this season, and has already 24 goals in 19 competitive appearances.
