Viktor Gyökeres is attracting interest from the Premier League
Gyökeres has impressive stats for Sporting CP this season.
Sporting CP currently tops the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and one of the bright spots is the Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres. The 25-year-old Gyökeres moved this summer from English club Coventry in a record deal €24m after a strong season in the Championship, where he scored 21 goals and provided 11 assists. He has carried these impressive statistics to Portugal, where he is the top scorer for Sporting.

The impressive performances have generated interest from other clubs, especially Premier League teams who have taken notice of the Swedish striker. Fulham and Newcastle are reported to have had scouts at Sporting's matches, and now Arsenal is also said to be interested if their potential deal for Ivan Toney falls through. Gyökeres has only been with the club since the summer, so a significant sum would be required for Sporting to consider a sale.
