In-Demand Boss Reacts To Agent’s Claims Striker Could Join Arsenal When Coach Leaves

Ruben Amorim has reacted the the agent of Arsenal target Victor Gyokeres who claims the striker could leave if the Sporting Lisbon boss moves on.

Amorim is regarded as one of the best young managers in the game and there has been alot of transfer speculation in the media that he could make the move to the Premier League, with both Chelsea and Liverpool interested in a move.

Striker Gyokeres – who has impressive 36 goals this season for Sporting – is someone else that has been linked with a transfer move – and his agent sparked more speculation after he revealed the striker could leave if Amorim goes.

‘Yes, it will be more difficult for Viktor to stay if Ruben Amorim leaves Sporting because Viktor came precisely because of Ruben,’ Hasan Cetinkaya told A Bola earlier this week.

But Amorim has played down the comments and insists Gyokeres’ future at Sporting is not interlinked to his own.

Asked about Cetinkaya’s interview and whether Gyokeres’ future is dependent on him, Amorim replied: ‘All the players are dependent on the coach, because if they don’t train well they won’t play tomorrow!

‘And if they don’t play tomorrow [against Gil Vicente] then they won’t play against Famalicao [next week] or the next one after it. That’s it.

‘It’s a certainty of football. Not just for Viktor but the futures of all players depend on the coach.

‘Is it destabilising? No, I don’t see it that way. We want the players to focus on the game so be clear about my situation. I think the buzz will end now.’

ARSENAL FC have been brilliant this season – but they have showed at times that they need a striker like Gyokeres that can score goals when he is really needed.

A striker is definitely needed in the summer – it should be top priority.
