Viktor Gyokeres, a scorer for Sporting CP, has talked about his future after being linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly interested in bringing Gyokeres to the Emirates Stadium, as reported by both the Mirror and Correio de Manha. Gyokeres himself is also interested in the relocation.
This season, the striker who previously represented Coventry City has been in exceptional form, netting 41 goals and assisting 15 others in 47 games across all categories.
Fabrizio Romano has stated that Sporting anticipates his €100 million (£85 million) release clause this summer, which means that he will not be inexpensive.
Conversely, it could be argued that Arsenal’s acquisition of the Swedish player is precisely what the team requires to achieve the highest level of success.
This leads us to the athlete himself: does he perceive himself as residing in North London or Lisbon?
Viktor Gyokeres discusses the future of athletics.
Sports’ striker addressed the media following his team’s second league title in three years under Ruben Amorim.
Bola Na Rede said that he said he could not promise anything and said this:
“Today was great, and we will definitely have a party,” he said. “Let us see what happens; the fun just started.”
“This is my first title.” When the season is over, after the league and cup, I talk about the party. Let us get every prize.
“I think Rafael Amorim is a great coach, and I would not mind if he kept going (laughs). Rúben Amorim was the one who brought me here, and it was a big deal for my business.
Sports fans, thanks a lot, and see you soon. Let us see what happens. It is football, so I can not promise anything. I have a deal, and I will not be sad if I stay. I am very happy there.
„We do not know what will happen next year, but let us see what it is like this season. We still have games left.”
It looks like he is not ruling anything out there.
Even though he had success with Sporting in Portugal, it is clear that he needs to join Arsenal.
The Gunners look like they are about to become very good, and getting a great player could make all the difference for them.
