£87M striker officially sends message to Pochettino about January move to Chelsea
Viktor Gyokeres has dismissed talk of a January transfer away from Sporting, amid rumours linking him with a move to Chelsea.
Nicolas Jackson seems to have the trust of his manager Mauricio Pochettino, but it does not look like that will stop CHELSEA from entering the market for a new No.9.
He has been impressive at time during his stint at Stamford Bridge, but he does not look like a forward that has the ability to push on and score 20-30 or even 40 goals a season for the Blues.
And that has led to constant speculation in the media over the past few months that Chelsea will once again delve into that transfer kitty and add another striker to that attack that has the ability to score goals and Gyokeres is reportedly on the list.
The 25-year-old striker joined the Portuguese side in the summer from Coventry for a club-record fee in the region of £20million, and it’s suggested that he now has an £87m release clause in his contract
Gyokeres would prove expensive if he were to leave Sporting mid-season, but the Swedish forward has insisted he is not thinking about leaving the club just six months after arriving.
“I’m very happy here and I don’t care about any interested parties at the moment. I’m enjoying every day here and not thinking about what’s going on around me. Yes, there’s talk of big clubs, but for now it’s just news. That’s all.”
Pressed directly on whether he was able to assure Sporting fans that he will not leave in January, Gyokeres added: “Yes. This is where I want to stay.”
