Arsenal given boost in bid to sign Viktor Gyokeres
TBR Football understands Viktor Gyokeres will be allowed to leave because Sporting in 2025 as they already believe that they have landed his long-term replacement.
Gyokeres is one of the most in-demand forwards in world football and a host of Premier League clubs are in contention to land the Swedish superstar.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all very much in the mix for the Swede, whilst Liverpool and Newcastle United have also been following him closely.
TBR Football understands that Gyokeres does have an agreement with Sporting that will see him move in 2025 for less than his €100million (£83million) release clause.
Sporting already have Gyokeres replacement
Sporting are braced for interest in a host of their stars, given they have already lost their head coach Ruben Amorim to Manchester United, and sporting director Hugo Viana is heading to Manchester City.
However, TBR Football is told by sources close to the club that they are delighted with the fact that they have already brought in the player they think is ready to step in next season in the shape of Conrad Harder.
Sporting beat a host of clubs including Brighton to land the Dane from Nordsjaelland in September and they are already delighted with how he is settling and learning off Gyokeres, who’s now considered ‘world class’ per .
Harder has featured six times for Sporting as he is eased into action, but already has three goals to his credit.
