Tottenham Hotspur are ramping up their interest in Sporting CP’s goal machine, Viktor Gyokeres, as they prepare to table a significant offer ahead of the summer transfer window. With Spurs on the hunt for a prolific striker, the Swedish international has emerged as a prime target.
According to Fichajes, Tottenham are eager to secure Gyokeres, but Sporting remain firm on their financial demands. The Portuguese side inserted a massive release clause in his contract, knowing full well that his sensational form would attract Europe’s biggest clubs.
The 25-year-old has been one of Europe’s most consistent forwards this season, racking up a staggering 50 goal contributions. Despite links to Arsenal and Liverpool, neither club has made a serious move, leaving Tottenham and Newcastle United as the primary contenders. Meanwhile, Manchester United could enter the race, with Ruben Amorim keen on a reunion, though the Red Devils’ financial priorities lie elsewhere.
Can Tottenham Get Their Man?
One major hurdle for Spurs is Champions League football. Gyokeres might prefer a club competing at Europe’s highest level, something Tottenham can only guarantee if they win the Europa League. That said, with Harry Kane’s departure still leaving a void up front, Spurs see Gyokeres as the ideal man to bring back elite-level goalscoring to North London.
Will Tottenham’s ambition be enough to lure Gyokeres, or will a bigger club swoop in? The summer window could hold the answer.
