Either way,
Arsenal should fight to sign Viktor Gyokeres, one of the strikers they need to boost their trophy chances next season. As Fabrizio Roma has said, Viktor Gyokeres is definitely going to leave, despite the player hinting that he will stay with Sporting CP next season. His market value is around £65m, and I think Arsenal would not have too much trouble in paying his release clause.
£65 million is too much. His stats this season are more than impressive he has scored 39 goals in 33 matches for Sporting. He would definitely be a great addition to Arsenal and could help a lot, but the question is whether he would have a similar season as he did at Sporting. Either way, i still think £65 million is a lot.
Getting a player like Viktor Gyökeres for £65m is quite cheap, especially in time like this when the transfer market has been highly inflated. I was hoping that Sporting Lisbon were going to slap a £100m plus price tag on the player, but the price I am seeing is okay. There is only one way for us to find out if he can replicate his goal scoring form he had in Sporting Lisbon, is if he move to other league. I remember when Manchester city bought Erling Haaland, there were same similar doubts about him replicating his goal scoring form in the premier league, he came and won the golden boot for two straight seasons.
The only thing that will hinder Viktor Gyökeres from scoring goals is if he move to a team that is poorly managed. If he make the mistake of going to a club like Manchester United he is finished. He should go to a team that have the passion to win something and he will flourish.
£65m release clause is not bad for Viktor Gyökeres regardless that he is a major figure in Sporting Lisbon though if he was to play for one of the big teams in La Liga, Bundesliga and the Premier League, his price tag would have been higher but however, it's not really about how expensive a player is that matters, if a club signs him can he maintain same performance as he did for Sporting Lisbon? that is the question and what should be after because if he perform the way he did for Sporting Lisbon, his market value will increase in his new club when he wants to sign for another club. I like when a player who is performing awesomely well, moves out to other clubs to test his skills and improve more rather than being stuck in a particular club for so long.
