According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Sporting CP is now pursuing the signing of Joshua Zirkzee.

Sporting CP are interested in Joshua Zirkzee if the time is right, providing an alternative move to Portugal.

The Daily Briefing reports that Manchester United might use Joshua Zirkzee as a bargaining chip to bring Viktor Gyökeres to Manchester. United hopes to secure Gyökeres in January and might include Zirkzee in the deal to reduce the price.

It could be that Joshua Zirkzee will be the player sacrificed in the potential deal for Viktor Gyokeres. The Dutchman’s future at Old Trafford already looks in some doubt.
