Tottenham join race for Viktor Gyokeres who will cost €75 million
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres.
According to CaughtOffside, they are one of the clubs keen on signing the 27-year-old striker, and he is likely to be available at a discounted price this summer. Initially, the striker was valued at €100 million, but the report claims that he could be sold for a fee of around €75 million.
The player has been in red-hot form
He is one of the best strikers in the world right now, and he would be an exceptional acquisition for Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. They signed Dominic Solanke last summer, and the English striker has done reasonably well. However, he needs more support in the attack and signing a world-class player like Gyokeres would be ideal.
He has been in fine form over the last two seasons. He scored 43 goals for Sporting CP during his debut campaign, and he has followed it up with 54 goals in 52 games last season. The striker is averaging more than a goal per game, and it will be interesting to see if he can replicate his extraordinary numbers in the Premier League if he joins Tottenham.
Viktor Gyokeres will be an expensive option
Multiple other Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on his situation. It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to come forward with a €75 million offer to sign him. It is a steep price to pay, but the player has the ability to justify the investment. He could turn Tottenham into a genuine contender for major trophies.
The striker has played in England before with clubs like Brighton and Coventry. He will be desperate to join a big club this summer, and moving to Tottenham could provide him with the platform he needs. They will be able to offer him Champions League football and the opportunity to fight for trophies.
