“Kulu knows him very well and keen to sacrifice his position to accomodate his arrival”- Tottenham got the perfect reason to hijack £86m Viktor Gyokeres transfer with Update on chasing rivals revealed
Tottenham Hotspur have been given yet another compelling reason to pursue the signing of Viktor Gyokeres during the current transfer window, with Dejan Kulusevski adding his voice to the call for the striker’s acquisition. This endorsement from Kulusevski, a key player for Spurs, underscores the potential impact Gyokeres could have at the club.
The Sporting CP forward, who made a significant impact in his debut season in Portugal, has been closely linked with a move to Spurs. Gyokeres’ remarkable performances have not gone unnoticed, making him one of the hottest properties in European football this summer. However, Tottenham faces stiff competition from other Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Chelsea, who are also keen on securing Gyokeres’ services. Despite this interest, the future destination of the talented striker remains uncertain, with fans eagerly awaiting his decision.
Tottenham’s potential signing of Gyokeres could be significantly eased by the presence of two Swedish players already in their squad: Dejan Kulusevski and the newly-signed Lucas Bergvall. Bergvall, who joined Tottenham in July, has already been active in the club’s pre-season tour of South Korea and Japan. The addition of Bergvall, a promising young talent, highlights Spurs’ strategic approach to building a diverse and dynamic squad. The presence of these Swedish players has notably increased the number of Spurs supporters in Sweden, a fact highlighted by Kulusevski himself. In a recent interview on Tottenham’s official YouTube channel, Kulusevski remarked, “I think a lot of Sweden will be Spurs fans now.”
This growing fanbase in Sweden could provide Tottenham with a unique edge over their rivals as they navigate the competitive transfer market in the weeks ahead. The club’s appeal in Scandinavia is likely to be a factor that Gyokeres, who hails from Sweden, will consider in making his decision. Sporting CP, meanwhile, will undoubtedly be keen to retain their star player, who has an £85 million release clause in his contract. Despite this, Gyokeres’ future remains in flux, with various clubs vying for his signature.
In addressing the transfer rumors back in May, the 26-year-old told A Bola, “Stay next season? It’s football, it’s normal, I can’t promise anything. I really like being here, but in football everything happens very fast and we have to adapt. I can’t make so many predictions, it’s difficult, there are still games this season, then we’ll see.” These comments reflect the uncertain nature of football transfers and the myriad factors that can influence a player’s decision.
The addition of Gyokeres would undoubtedly bolster Tottenham’s attacking options and potentially provide a fresh impetus for the upcoming season under new head coach Ange Postecoglou. Postecoglou, known for his attacking style of play, would likely relish the opportunity to work with a player of Gyokeres’ caliber. Gyokeres’ speed, technical ability, and goal-scoring prowess would complement the existing talent within the squad, creating a more formidable and versatile attacking force.
As the transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on where Gyokeres decides to take his talents next. Tottenham fans will be hoping that the allure of joining fellow Swedes at the club, combined with the prospect of playing under Postecoglou, will be enough to sway the striker’s decision in their favor. The coming weeks promise to be crucial in determining the future of one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards, with Tottenham Hotspur eager to secure his signature and strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
