Coventry City stands poised to benefit financially as Viktor Gyokeres is set for a summer transfer.

Sporting Lisbon is reportedly planning to sell Viktor Gyokeres this summer for £68.5 million, the striker who is currently in top form. With a sell-on clause that guarantees the Championship club at least 10% of any additional revenue (beyond what they earned when they sold him for £20 million last summer), that will be good news for the Sky Blues.

With an astonishing 37 goals and 14 assists in 50 games for club and country this season, the Swedish international is playing at a very high level. In 24 games in the Portuguese top division, he scored 22 goals.

Arsenal, who has been scouting the potent forward all year, is now interested in him. Representatives from Chelsea have also been intently observing his achievements this season.

Gyokeres has also been linked to AC Milan, although having beginning his career with Brighton, it is thought that the forward would prefer a move to the Premier League.

With the help of the 25-year-old’s goals, Sporting has topped the Portuguese league, one game ahead of their local rivals Benfica, whom they defeated in the cup to set up a possible double.

Officials at the club are concentrated on wrapping up an incredible domestic campaign, but sources in Portugal anticipate Sporting will seek €80 million this summer in order to cash in on Gyokeres, according to the Mirror.

Gyokeres said he will evaluate his options after the campaign, saying: “It’s a sign that I’ve performed well,” while on international duty in his native country.

But since it’s only conjecture, I don’t take it too seriously. It is, of course, enjoyable. Hopefully, this summer. What will happen is not something I know about myself. I have a great time playing sports, and I’m not stressed about summer approaching rapidly.

“It is clear that what I have done has attracted attention, but it is not really my focus in everyday life. But of course, it’s fun that I have fans who appreciate what I’ve done.”
