Bruno Fernandes names the Sporting Lisbon players who Man United can sign this summer after strong competition for €100m star player from arsenal

Bruno Ferandes emphasizes that Viktor Gyokeres, a transfer target for Arsenal, is not the sole Sporting Lisbon player that Premier League clubs should be closely monitoring.

Mikel Arteta is presently evaluating a variety of potential targets, including the Sweden international, as the Gunners are expected to seek a new striker in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Arsenal have been associated with a potential transfer of Ousmane Diomande, even though Jurrien Timber is about to recover completely from injury and the club has decided to extend the contracts of Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White.

Fernandes, a previous captain of Sporting, has observed the remarkable achievements of Gyokeres this season, but he believes that his goal-scoring prowess has eclipsed the contributions of his fellow teammates.

‘Gyokeres is one of them, he has scored a significant number of goals,’ stated the present Manchester United player when questioned about which Sporting players could excel in England.

‘However, I believe Pedro Goncalves has consistently demonstrated exceptional dynamism throughout the years. This season is likely his most outstanding performance to date, however his statistics have declined since the first season.

‘He has established an exceptionally high level of achievement in terms of goals and assists, thereby subjecting him to significant pressure.’

‘Nevertheless, I believe that Pote’s impact on the team’s performance is greater now compared to when Sporting were champions and he scored numerous goals.’

He stated: ‘The coach’s trust in Trincao has restored him to his former level as a player, reminiscent of when he departed Braga for Barcelona.’

Undoubtedly, Gyokeres’ prolific goal-scoring often leads to him being overlooked or neglected at times. Inácio has shown significant growth, which can be attributed in part to his involvement in the national squad and active participation in matches.

‘Coates consistently serves as the stabilizing force in the defense due to his extensive experience and his capacity to remain composed during challenging situations. The pair positioned in the midfield… I have a strong affinity for Sporting’s midfield.

‘I have a deep affection for Morita and Hjulmand.’ They are two crucial players in Sporting’s game, particularly when they need to possess the ball more and demonstrate greater tactical organization.
