Sporting attacker Viktor Gyokeres is attracting attention from top Premier League clubs Arsenal and Chelsea, according to reports. The Swedish international has been in outstanding form since leaving Coventry City, scoring an impressive 36 goals in all competitions this season.
Chelsea has been linked to Gyokeres since January, and they are reportedly making plans to secure his signature in the upcoming summer transfer window. Arsenal is also rumored to be keen on signing the talented striker.
While Gyokeres' Sporting contract includes a release clause of £86 million, there are indications that a deal could be reached for a significantly lower amount. Sporting is said to be willing to sell him for as little as £43 million, cutting their asking price in half.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are in the forefront of the race to secure Gyokeres' services. AC Milan is also keeping a close eye on the player's progress, hoping to persuade him to join Serie A instead of the Premier League. However, it is believed that Chelsea and Arsenal's financial strength would make it difficult for Milan to compete in a bidding war.
With several top European clubs expressing interest in Gyokeres, his destination for the next season remains uncertain. The player himself has downplayed the transfer rumors, stating that he doesn't take them too seriously.
