Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres has dropped another hint over his preferred next club amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.

Former Coventry striker Gyokeres is expected to leave Sporting this summer after two seasons with the club.

He scored an incredible 39 goals in Liga Portugal this season and also netted six times in the Champions League, including a hat-trick against Manchester City in the league stage.

A return to England looks likely, with Arsenal and Manchester United leading the race to sign him.

The Gunners, in particular, are in need of a centre forward, while United are first focusing on a deal to sign Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo after paying the now former Wolves star Matheus Cunha's £62.5 million release clause.

Gyokeres recently spoke to Vogue Scandinavia about life in Portugal compared to England and his home country of Sweden - and appeared to make clear his ideal future destination.

"In Sweden, people work hard during the week and only socialise on the weekends," he said.

"Here, it's more lively during the week. They have dinners with friends, a glass of wine on Monday. I like that. After living in a hot country, it would be difficult [to return to a colder one]."

On specific rumours linking him with English clubs, the 27-year-old replied: "Clickbait. Nowadays, it's sports news 24 hours a day, and they come up with topics to keep the cycle going."

Aside from the English rumours, Gyokeres has also been linked from a potential move to Spain and Barcelona.

However, Barca sporting director Deco stated last month that the club are not pursuing the Swede as Robert Lewandowski remains under contract.

Speaking about Gyokeres in particular, former Portugal midfielder Deco told A Bola: "He's a great player, who has scored a lot of goals in recent years at Sporting, but at the moment we're not looking for that position.

"We already have Lewandowski to play at number nine, so it's not a position we're looking for."

Lewandowski, 36, has one year left on his deal at Camp Nou and smashed in 27 goals this season as Barca regained the La Liga title under new manager Hansi Flick.
