Premier League clubs ready to buy off Gyökeres
Swedish national team star Viktor Gyökeres continues to pour in goals in England and is one of the hottest Swedes out in the European leagues at the moment. Yesterday there was another goal when Coventry lost against Sheffield United, when the team had a chance to move up to the Play off place to the Premier League. Gyökeres has scored 12 goals in total this season and with that he is joint top scorer in The Championship. His success has meant that big clubs have now opened their eyes to him, with The Athletic reporting on Monday that Everton have registered their interest in Coventry. According to Sportbladet's English information, there is also interest from Wolverhampton and Fulham. Above all, Wolves, with new coach Julen Lopetegui, should be keen to sign the 24-year-old already this winter. Both Wolves and Fulham are said to have contacted Coventry regarding the Swede, but where a deal already this winter could be very difficult to complete.
Coventry will soon have new owners, when businessman Doug King will take over 85 percent of the shares in the club. It speaks strongly against a sale, as the club's new owner hardly wants to start his era at the club by selling away a player who scored 12 goals this year, leads the scoring league and scored 22 goals last season, in the middle of the season when the team aims to move up to the Premier League. Coventry have just two points up for a Play off place.
No, then as I understand it, it is more reasonable that Gyökeres will be sold in the summer window. So any sale or move already this winter is not particularly likely if nothing unforeseen is expected to happen until January 31, when the transfer window in England closes.
Gyökeres, who previously belonged to Brighton in the Premier League, has been clear that it is to remain in England and to play in the Premier League, which is the big goal.
- I feel very much at home here in England and it's probably the Premier League you want to play in the most. I would have probably fit in there given my style of play and the fact that I played in The Championship. The Premier League is a league that attracts. And I think I have adapted well to England and the culture and everything around football here, Gyökeres said this summer regarding his football future.
