Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham have emerged as the strongest suitors for Viktor Gyökeres’ signature.
The North London club forked out a significant amount to bolster their squad during the summer transfer window. Their priority was to sign a new striker and they broke their transfer record to bring Dominic Solanke to the club from Bournemouth.
Despite having forked out £65 million to acquire the services of the former Liverpool ace, Spurs could soon look at the market for another number nine. According to CaughtOffside, Ange Postecoglou’s team have emerged as the strongest suitors in the race to sign Viktor Gyökeres.
The Sporting CP striker, who has been in exceptional form over the last 18 months, has been on Tottenham’s wishlist for a while now, and they could soon make a move to sign him. The Swedish international scored 43 goals in his debut campaign at the Portuguese club and he already has nine goals in the 2024/25 season.
He might have close to four years left on his deal, but Spurs could still look to prise him away. Gyokeres could compete with Solanke for a place in the starting XI and together they could help Postecoglou’s team take the next step.
Chelsea and PSG are also interested in the 26-year-old’s signature as they look for a world-class number nine and they could provide tough competition to Tottenham. But as things stand, the North London club are showing the most interest in the player. He has a £84 million release clause in his deal and it remains to be seen whether Spurs can get the deal done.
