It was on Tuesday that SportExpressen was able to reveal that Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres would remain in England, when he chose between Coventry and another club in The Championship. Both clubs agreed with Brighton on the transfer fee of around SEK 12 million and it was up to the player himself to make a decision.
Traveling to England soon.
According to SportExpressen's information, the decision has now also been made. Gyökeres has chosen to go to Coventry City, the club the player was loaned to last season. There, the striker had a hard time getting playing time in the beginning, but he played quite a lot at the end and also accounted for three goals and started the last three matches. The 23-year-old Swede now agrees with Coventry on the personal contract and the clubs also agree on the transfer fee, which lands at around SEK 12 million.
Sold for about twelve million
The player is expected to travel to England at the beginning of next week where he will undergo a medical examination and then sign the contract with the club. He thus leaves Brighton, who bought Gyökeres from Brommapojkarna in the autumn of 2017. He has since been loaned to St Pauli in Germany, Swansea and Coventry in England. The 23-year-old was on Janne Andersson's national team's January tour in 2019, where he scored a goal in the two international matches that Sweden played then.
