Chelsea are exploring a move for Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres as they look to strengthen their attacking options, with the Swedish striker emerging as a potential summer target.
With Chelsea prioritising the signing of a new striker in the summer, Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres has become a serious option. Previously dismissed as a target, the Blues have been put on alert after reports that Sporting are willing to sell him for £58m—well below his £84m release clause.
Gyokeres has been in prolific form, averaging a goal every 78 minutes in the Primeira Liga, and has even been described as a "better version of Erling Haaland" by Rafael van der Vaart. While his wage demands and agent fees could complicate negotiations, Enzo Maresca is determined to keep his options open.
Chelsea are also tracking Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, though Arsenal are leading the race for Sesko. The club’s need for attacking reinforcements has intensified due to Nicolas Jackson’s injury and Christopher Nkunku’s uncertain future.
