Viktor Gyokees has a fatal form for Sporting CP, where the Swedish striker finds the net 86 times in 93 games in all games since he came to the club
The Swedish target machine Viktor Gyokeres is praised by the sporty CP boss Rui Borges prior to a transfer battle that Arsenal includes. Borges went so far that he greeted the former Coventry City sensation – which has an excellent record of 86 goals in just 93 performances – as the best Portugal will probably see for some time.
Arsenal is still hunting for a no. 9 of the world class after neither summer or January transfenssters have fulfilled their needs. And with injuries to important players such as Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, Mikel Arteta Gyokeres could see as the answer to their title prayers.
Borges, 43, did not stop himself in his praise after the recent Cup triumph of Sporting on Rio Ave. Gyokeres was again on the score sheet in the first stage of their semi-final collision, so that his manager confessing how appreciated the player in Lisbon.
“He is clearly the best in the competition,” he told reporters, via Football.London. “There are no adjectives to describe Viktor. He is an extraordinary striker, very important for our team. He helped the team to grow with trust, quality of the game.
“He passes it on to his teammates. Today the team responded great, we played a game with great quality, always connected. That is what I asked for, and that's what they did.”
Although the side of Arteta could take great advantage of the productive bravery of Gyokeres, the admiration of Sporting suggests that it will cost a big bid to take the Star Striker away from Portugal. And the lions certainly do not have a shortage of clubs that take interest in their talisman.
“He is a targeted player who pays attention to details, he is competitive, never leaves his care down and does not want to rest,” Borges continued. “Maybe he could rest today. It is a young team, and he, as a athlete, player and teammate, gives confidence in his teammates with what he gives to the team.”
Borges' comments suggest that Arsenal could get a real gem when they are ready to open their wallet for this much admired striker. It has been suggested that Chiefs van Gunners have taken negotiations on personal conditions with the attacker born in Stockholm.
Speculation suggests that a meeting is on the maps between Andrea Berta, the newly appointed sports director of the club and the player of the player, Hasan Cetinkaya. However, every movement will not be cheap.
It has been suggested that there is a handshake agreement with Sporting, so that Gyokeres can allow more for between £ 58.6 million to £ 62.8 million, provided that he depicts the move – a revelation Borges seemed to confirm. That is after he continued to admit that it is probably only a matter of time before the player leaves.
“Viktor is a player … I think there are no words: it is unlikely that another player of his quality will arise in our competition in the coming years,” he said. “He is clearly above average.
“Sporting recognized his talent, and here we are. Fortunately we have him at the sport. We have to get the most out of the time we have with him because he is really exceptional.
“I said this before and I will continue to say it: he brings a lot to the team, and his teammates are aware of what he contributes, that's why they look for him during games.
“The collective effort also plays a role, because nobody can succeed alone. Viktor is a game changer, and he will stay, either with us or elsewhere. His quality cannot be denied; it is phenomenal.”
