The summer transfer window is heating up, and Chelsea have now officially entered the race for Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres — a striker also on the radar of Arsenal and Liverpool.
Chelsea Submit Enquiry for Sporting Goal Machine
According to Record via Sport Witness, Chelsea have submitted an enquiry for Viktor Gyokeres, Sporting CP’s prolific Swedish striker. The 26-year-old has been in sensational form since arriving from Coventry City, bagging 54 goals and 13 assists in just 52 appearances. Sporting are reportedly demanding €60–65 million for his services — well below his €100 million release clause.
Arsenal and Liverpool Also in the Mix
Arsenal have already made a move for Gyokeres, with Mikel Arteta keen to add firepower amid inconsistencies from Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus. Meanwhile, Liverpool are monitoring the situation closely. With Darwin Nunez’s future uncertain and Diogo Jota struggling for fitness, the Reds see Gyokeres as a potential game-changer.
Does Chelsea Really Need Another Striker?
The Blues’ interest raises eyebrows, especially as they are on the verge of signing Liam Delap and already have two strikers in Enzo Maresca’s setup. Yet, their enquiry signals serious intent and could spark a bidding war.
Gyokeres’s next move is one of this summer’s hottest stories — and with Premier League giants circling, Sporting CP are bracing for major offers.
