Brilliant £43-goal star tells Enzo Maresca he is open to summer move by Friday
Victor Gyojeres, a longtime target of Chelsea, has acknowledged that he is content to remain at Sporting Lisbon but that he is open to leaving the Portuguese team during current transfer window.
Although Nicolas Jackson seems to have the respect of his former manager, Mauricio Pochettino, it appears that this will not deter CHELSEA from searching for a new No. 9.
Although he has occasionally shown promise throughout his tenure at Stamford Bridge, he does not appear to be a forward who can continue to improve and score 20–30 or even 40 goals for the Blues each season.
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 Swedish striker was in sensational form this season scoring 43 goals in all competitions for the club last season and is a player that all the big clubs are after.
And Speaking after Sporting CP’s 5-0 win on Friday, in which he scored a hat-trick, Gyokeres kept the door open to a summer exit – he said: “We never know what’s going to happen. It doesn’t just depend on me. We’ll see, but I feel good here.
“In football, in the transfer window, it’s normal, there are things we don’t know, that happen quickly. But I love being here, there’s no stress.”
Reporter at Chelsea247 recently claimed that Gyokeres would score goals at CHELSEA – Stanley told icfootballnews: “I watched him last year scoring goals for fun. You thought what a goalscorer and what a finisher. [Clubs] sit on the fence and are scared to make a judgement.
“He’s good enough. He’ll score goals. He scored at Coventry, he has scored alot of goals for Sporting. There’s talent out there that may not cost alot of money, he is just the type of player that the Chelsea board like to sign.’h
