An ambitious bid by Tottenham Hotspur is rumored to be made for Sporting CP attacker Viktor Gyokeres.
The 25-year-old, who moved to Portugal at the beginning of the season, is considered by many to be among the top strikers in the world at the moment. He has been playing exceptionally well.
According to HITC, the former Coventry City striker has been linked to teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and West Ham United. He has 36 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.
It would be intriguing to see if Tottenham can raise the money to sign the striker, who has an £85 million release clause in his contract. It is no secret that they need to add a consistent goal scorer who can play as their line leader, but the Swedish international may cost them too much.
Tottenham may want to consider alternative options before investing a club-record amount in a striker, since they will also need to strengthen other parts of their roster. Having said that, the 25-year-old has the ability to change Tottenham’s offensive style and make them serious contenders for the upcoming campaign.
Gyokeres might give in to temptation if a summer offer from a Premier League team materializes. Tottenham is aiming for Champions League qualifying, and should they place in the top four, they will be a desirable team to play for.
It will be intriguing to observe his final destination.
