The battle for Giokelez heats up: Who can laugh to the end in the Premier League?

There are not many good players in the center position in the European transfer market now, so Swedish striker Giokelez of Sporting Lisbon has become a popular "hot commodity". The latest situation is that this battle has evolved into a "two strong rivalry" between Arsenal and Manchester United.

Let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. Judging from the quotation, the conditions given by both parties are actually similar, with the total price being around 70 million euros. Although it is still a little far from the asking price of Sporting Lisbon for 80 million, this shows that both companies have shown enough sincerity.

Then, in this case, the player's choice is crucial. The most favorable "ace" to Arsenal now is that they have the Champions League to play next season. For a striker who is in his prime and in a hot state, it is very attractive to show himself on the stage of the Champions League, which is the highest level. As for Manchester United, although the club is famous and can promise him a core position, there will be no Champions League next season, which is a real flaw. So, it depends on how Giokelez himself weighs the trade-offs, whether to choose a more stable platform that can play in the Champions League immediately, or choose to go to a rebuilding giant family and be the "leader" of the new plan.
