In a recent match against Manchester City, Viktor Gyokeres proved his worth by scoring a hat-trick. This performance has caught the attention of top clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal, who are keen to add him to their rosters. However, according to Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel, Gyokeres would be a perfect fit for his former club.
The Swedish striker has been in high demand due to his impressive goal-scoring record at Sporting Lisbon. In the last two seasons, he has scored a remarkable 66 goals in 67 appearances, making him one of the most sought-after players in the world. Chelsea and Arsenal have been keeping a close eye on Gyokeres, but it seems like Manchester United is currently leading the race to sign him.
The speculation of Gyokeres joining Manchester United has only increased after it was announced that Sporting boss Ruben Amorim will become the new head coach at Old Trafford. It is believed that Amorim wants to bring Gyokeres with him to the Red Devils, especially since the team is lacking a prolific goal scorer. This was further fueled by Gyokeres' impressive hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League, which was Amorim's second-to-last match in charge of Sporting.
Reports suggest that Sporting would be willing to accept a £63 million bid for Gyokeres, who has previously played for Brighton, Swansea, and Coventry. While Arsenal is also in the market for a new center-forward, Chelsea's interest in Gyokeres may have decreased as they already have talented strikers like Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku on their team.
However, Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel believes that Gyokeres would be a great addition to the club. On his Obi One Podcast, he expressed his confidence in the striker's abilities and stated that he has all the necessary qualities to be a successful player in the Premier League. Mikel believes that Gyokeres has the strength, size, speed, and most importantly, goal-scoring abilities to thrive in the English top-flight.
Mikel also compared Gyokeres to the likes of Erling Haaland, who has been making waves in the football world with his impressive goal-scoring record. He believes that Gyokeres' goal-scoring ratio is better than any other striker in Europe at the moment, making him a highly coveted player. Despite his praise for the Swedish striker, Mikel acknowledges that Chelsea's current forwards will need to be at their best when they face off against Arsenal in an important Premier League match on Sunday.
It will be interesting to see where Gyokeres ends up, as the competition for his signature is fierce. But one thing is for sure, the 26-year-old has caught the eye of many top clubs and has the potential to be a star in the Premier League. We'll just have to wait and see which team will be lucky enough to secure his services.
