According to reports, Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres is currently being valued at an impressive £58 million. This news has caught the attention of former Chelsea manager Graham Potter, who believes that Manchester United's interest in the Swedish star is a wise move. It's no secret that United has been struggling in the striker department, and the recent appointment of Ruben Amorim from Sporting has only fueled speculations of a potential deal for Gyokeres.
The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the top strikers in Europe, having scored an impressive 59 goals in just 65 matches during his two seasons at Lisbon. His success at the club has come as a surprise to many, especially considering he joined from Championship team Coventry. However, his former manager at Brighton, Potter, has always believed in Gyokeres' potential and is not surprised by his success.
Potter acknowledges that the potential deal between United and Sporting will ultimately depend on the willingness of both parties and the available funds. However, he believes that Gyokeres' ability to score goals consistently would be a valuable asset for United, who have been struggling to find the back of the net. The manager also highlights the importance of assessing the current squad's strengths and weaknesses before making any big moves, especially considering the limited funds available in the upcoming January transfer window.
It is reported that United will not have a significant amount of money to spend in January, as they have already spent £200 million in the previous transfer window. However, they did recoup about £100 million from player sales. Amorim's summer budget will also be affected by the club's performance in the Champions League, as qualifying for the tournament would bring in more funds.
