Viktor Gyokeres has fuelled speculation that he could be reunited with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United after admitting it is his ambition to play in the Premier League. The Sweden international has starred at Sporting Lisbon since moving to Portugal and is currently Europe's most prolific goalscorer this season with 18 goals in all competitions.

Amorim's arrival as the newly-appointed United head coach in November saw the 39-year-old take over a squad left amidst chaos by Erik ten Hag and is still assessing the need for new recruitments. His transformation project that has seen Amorim turn Gyokeres - formerly of Coventry - into one of Europe's best goalscorers has seen United fans call for the striker to move to Old Trafford in the summer.

Amorim has denied suggestions that he will launch a raid on his former club in the short-term for Gyokeres, but the player has since outlined how he has always wanted to play in England's top-flight. The 26-year-old previously left Championship outfit Coventry last year in a £20m deal following the club's defeat in the second division play-off final against Luton.

Amorim (middle) got the best out of Gyokeres during the pair's time together at Sporting Lisbon. He delivered an immediate return on Sporting's record investment by spearheading the club's charge to a first league title under Amorim and is now being targeted by United, Arsenal and other top European clubs.
