Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres is one of the players who have been linked to a move to Chelsea in the West London club’s pursuit of an elite striker to address their scoring problems at Stamford Bridge this summer.
Enzo Maresca has been trying to play in an appealing way, but in order to make sure that his strategies produce results on the score sheet that are equally effective, he will need to be present up front.
Right now, one of the most sought-after homes on the stunning market is Viktor Gyokeres.
In 49 games across all competitions, he not only scored 43 goals but also provided 15 assists in an outstanding performance that ended last season.
Battle for Viktor Gyokeres Gains Momentum
While numerous clubs are vying for his signature, Chelsea is among those keen to secure the 26-year-old during the summer transfer window.
However, his £86 million release clause presents a significant financial challenge that many Premier League clubs find difficult to justify.
Despite this obstacle, Chelsea and other interested parties are exploring various strategies to potentially lower the transfer fee or negotiate more favorable terms, underscoring the high demand for this talented player.
Alongside Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal have also expressed interest in Gyokeres services.
Plenty of admirers for his services means his current employers are not willing to negotiate a lower fee.
Given the fact that they signed him up for a cheap £16.9 million from Coventry, they would make a significant profit on his services.

Senior correspondent at Football Insider, Pete O’Rourke, revealed that the 26-year-old is Arsenal’s priority target for the summer.
He also suggests that Liverpool and Tottenham are also making moves behind the scenes to land the striker.
Chelsea will need to act fast if they are to compete for Viktor Gyokeres’ signature this summer.
