Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres has attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, as well as PSG in France. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are all monitoring the player, who has started the new season in fantastic fashion with Sporting, scoring a whopping 9 goals in 7 games. The Swede has also scored 3 goals with his national team, in the first 2 meetings in the Nations League.
Arsenal and Liverpool are the 2 English clubs that are currently ahead of their rivals regarding a potential transfer of Gyokere. Arsenal has requested information about the player from Sporting, but at the same time, the Londoners are considering other alternatives for the attacking department. Among them are Jonathan David, Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Sesko.
Meanwhile, as far as Liverpool is concerned, "The Reds" are also in the game for the transfer of the Swede. The club is expected to have big departures at the end of this season and coach Arne Slot should have as many options at his disposal as possible. Chelsea, on the other hand, are monitoring the player, but the Londoners are in a delicate financial situation and do not have the flexibility to make a move at the moment.
But what is the value of Viktor Gyokere's card? The player's contract has an 83 million pound release clause. The striker has scored a total of 128 goals in 287 appearances as a professional. The 26-year-old's record at Sporting is even more impressive, as Gyokere has managed to score a full 52 times in 57 matches. It is understood that the Premier League is a championship with a higher level, and the Swede will have to adapt to football in England. However, many giant English clubs seem willing to take the plunge for his transfer.
