Sporting Lisbon would easily get past the lose of Gyokeres it's not going to affect them much cause they're not a team that depends too much on a striker to win games moreover the huge fees recovered from the sale of Gyokeres is enough to get them two fast rising attackers then train them into becoming the new Gyokeres for the team.
Last season, Gyokeres played 33 games in the Portuguese league and scored 39 goals, while Sporting scored 88 goals. Benfica scored 84 goals. This means that if Sporting didn't have Gyokeres, the number of goals scored would be much lower than the 88 goals, and Benfica would be champions.

It's indeed a very interesting analysis. Sporting has been very dependent on Gyokeres over the last two seasons.
I think everyone is waiting to see what Sporting will be like with a coach who wants to apply his own ideas in this new season, without Gyokeres.
Gyokeres, in turn, will have the ultimate test of their quality at Arsenal, in a very different championship.
