Viktor Gyökeres was fantastic again for Sporting CP, scoring a goal and providing an assist in their latest game. The Swedish striker now has 16 goals or assists in his last nine games. He is proving to be one of the best forwards in Europe right now.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Gyökeres played brilliantly for Sporting, helping them win their recent match. With another goal and assist, he has now scored or assisted 16 times in just nine games. His season is incredible, with 48 goals in 47 games for Sporting and 57 goals in 53 games for club and country. In the Primeira Liga, he is the top scorer with 34 goals in 29 matches, more than twice the nearest rivals. He recently scored a hat-trick against Moreirense, putting Sporting three points ahead of challengers Benfica as the season nears its end.
GREAT SEASON AND TRANSFER TALK
With 72 goals and assists in 53 games, Gyökeres is attracting interest from top European clubs as the summer transfer window approaches. His goal-scoring and assists have caught the attention of Premier League teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. He could be available for as little as £60 million, attracting offers from abroad. Although his contract with Sporting runs until June 2028, and his release clause was initially €100 million, Sporting may agree to a significant fee for a summer move.
TITLE RACE AND WHAT’S NEXT
Sporting CP are leading the Primeira Liga, with the same points as Benfica. Their next match is important as Benfica face AVS, who are fighting to stay in the Primeira Liga. The remainder of the season will be crucial for Sporting as they try to stay on top and win the Portuguese league title. Gyökeres’ form will be key to their chances. If he keeps playing at this level, a big transfer could happen soon, with the football world watching.”
