Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim has broken his silence on the swirling transfer rumours linking star striker Viktor Gyokeres with a blockbuster move to Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Swedish forward has been in scintillating form this season, netting an impressive 36 goals across all competitions. His performances have reportedly caught the attention of London's top clubs, with both the Gunners and Blues keen to bolster their attacking options.
Amorim's Candid Response
When pressed about Gyokeres' future at the club, Amorim delivered a measured response: "We're focused on finishing the season strongly. Viktor is happy here, but in football, you never know what tomorrow brings."
The Portuguese tactician's comments will do little to quell speculation, particularly with Sporting reportedly valuing their prized asset at around £85 million - a fee that would smash both Arsenal's and Chelsea's transfer records.
Why Premier League Clubs Are Chasing Gyokeres
- 36 goals in 39 appearances this season
- Physical presence combined with technical ability
- Proven in multiple European leagues
- At 25, entering his prime years
With the summer transfer window approaching, this saga looks set to dominate headlines. Both Mikel Arteta and Mauricio Pochettino are known admirers of the striker, who only joined Sporting from Coventry City last summer for £20 million.
For now, Gyokeres remains focused on helping Sporting secure the Primeira Liga title and potentially the Taça de Portugal, with Amorim's side still competing on both fronts.
