Sporting Lisbon's star player Viktor Gyokeres is making headlines once again after scoring a hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League. The 26-year-old Swedish international has been in top form, having scored an impressive 66 goals in just 67 games for Sporting.
It's no surprise that top clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and City are all keen to sign Gyokeres. He has a €100m release clause, but recent reports suggest that Sporting may be open to selling him for a lower fee in the upcoming transfer window.
But which team will Gyokeres ultimately choose? Let's take a look at the contenders.
Arsenal has been in search of a top-level striker for some time now, and Gyokeres is on their radar. His style of play would fit in perfectly with manager Mikel Arteta's tactics, and he would likely slot straight into their starting lineup. However, Chelsea and United are also strong contenders, and they have the added advantage of being potential title contenders.
Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has praised Gyokeres, saying that he would offer much-needed depth to the team. But Chelsea can't be ruled out either, as they have no problem splashing the cash in the transfer window. They may prioritize strengthening other areas, but Gyokeres would certainly take them to the next level.
United may seem like the most obvious choice for Gyokeres, as his current manager Ruben Amorim will soon be joining them. However, it's unlikely that United will make a move for him unless they sell some of their current strikers. It's also worth noting that United's sporting director has sold Gyokeres before when he was working at Brighton.
Gyokeres himself has stated that he is happy at Sporting, but anything can happen in the transfer window. He may choose to stay in the Premier League, with City and Liverpool also potential options. There's also a possibility that he may reject the Premier League altogether and move to a top club in another European league.
All three clubs have their own arguments for why Gyokeres would be a perfect fit, but Metro predicts that Arsenal is the most likely to secure his signature at the moment. However, nothing is set in stone, and Gyokeres may surprise us all with his decision. Only time will tell where he ends up.
