Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, with PSG also interested.
Viktor Gyokeres is on the radar of clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea. However, a report from Fichajes has claimed that Paris Saint-Germain are now keen on the 26-year-old as well. It remains to be seen whether the Ligue 1 champions decide to make a move for him when the transfer window reopens in January.
Gyokeres scored 43 goals in all competitions last season, and he is one of the best strikers in European football right now. The Swede has started the current season in impressive form as well, contributing to 12 goals in seven appearances.
The 26-year-old goal machine will certainly want to compete at the highest level, and the opportunity to join a big club will be quite attractive for him. PSG are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they could provide them with the platform to push for major trophies every season.
Gyokeres could be tempted to join a big club
A move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him as well. He has played in English football with Coventry City in the past. Arsenal and Chelsea are among the biggest clubs in the world country, and Gyokeres will certainly be attracted to the idea of joining them if the opportunity presents itself.
However, he is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition. The striker has a €100 million release clause in his contract, and it is fair to assume that Arsenal and Chelsea will have to pay up if they want to secure his signature.
Both clubs need more quality in their attack and he could transform them. Gabriel Jesus has not been able to score goals consistently, and Gyokeres would be a major upgrade on the Brazilian. At Chelsea, he would be a quality alternative to Nicolas Jackson, enabling Enzo Maresca to rotate efficiently.
The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will want to win major trophies at the club level. Joining a big club would be ideal for him. It remains to be seen whether he decides to move on in the near future. There have been rumours that Sporting CP could consider a sale in winter.
