Tottenham Hotspur remain in contact with Viktor Gyokeres’ entourage ahead of a potential move next summer.
Signing a striker was a top priority for the North London club in the recently concluded summer transfer window. They broke their transfer record and forked out £65 million to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. But, that doesn’t close the door on Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres who remains on their wishlist.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham retain an interest in the services of the Swedish international and they are keeping alive contact with the player’s entourage ahead of a potential transfer. Gyokeres has been on fire since making the move to Portugal.
Last season, he bagged 43 goals in his 50 outings and even had 15 assists to his name. There was no shortage of interest in his services during the summer window and Tottenham were one of the clubs linked with him but he decided to continue at Sporting for another year. He has made an exceptional start to the new season with 11 goals and three assists in their eight outings.
Gyokeres is expected to make the move to a bigger European club next summer and Tottenham are one of the clubs who are interested in having him on their team. The fact that they are in contact with his entourage suggests he will be a very important option for them to reinforce their attack next season.
While he will still have three years left on his deal next summer, the 26-year-old striker has an £83 million (€100m) release clause in his contract which makes him an interesting option for multiple Premier League clubs.
