Chelsea now list striker with stunning goals/assists this season
Chelsea have yet to make a firm move for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, sources have told Football Insider.
The Blues are looking for some eye-catching reinforcements under Mauricio Pochettino this month after the start of the 2023-24 season.
Gyokeres is on the list at Stamford Bridge following his impressive form at Sporting, but he is by no means the Londoners’ top choice.
Chelsea did not approach the Swedish national team in the middle of the season.
In any case, the Portuguese club will not consider the off-season offers for the 25-year-old player, as they aim for the league title and success in Europe.
Gyokeres has hit 22 goals in 25 games so far for Sporting this season – and has also added 10 assists.
He only joined the club from Championship side Coventry last summer for a reported fee of almost £21million after add-ons.
The forward – who is under contract until June 2028, is a regular for Sweden, notching five goals in 19 international caps.
Chelsea are on the hunt for a new striker with Nicolas Jackson, Armando Broja and Christopher Nkunku not providing the level of firepower needed at present..
