Chelsea are keen to strengthen several departments next summer.
Chelsea target Viktor Gyokeres is in a scintillating form this season, per stats revealed by Squawka. He is directly involved in 36 goals across all competitions and only has Kylian Mbappe (37) ahead of him.
The Swedish international’s fine form earned him a move to the top tier with Sporting CP from the EFL Championship with Coventry City. The 25-year-old hit the ground running in his debut season.
A form as such cannot go unnoticed. Many top-level clubs sent their scouts to watch Gyokeres in action, but Chelsea was the club heavily linked with the star throughout January.
The Blues will have to splash the cash if they wish to land the superstar in the summer. Sporting CP has set a €100m release clause on their priced possession.
The Argentine boss is struggling not just with the fitness of his players but also their form. Not many are performing up to the mark so far. Apart from Cole Palmer, Raheem Sterling, Nicolas Jackson and Conor Gallagher, the manager has received no significant help from the others.
A player with Gyokeres’ calibre can change the tide for West Londoners. Chelsea need a viable threat up front and it seemed they did find that in Christopher Nkunku. Unfortunately, the Frenchman is injury-prone, just as the majority of Chelsea players.
This emphasizes Pochettino’s dire need for a consistent striker. With Kylian Mbappe out of the question, Viktor Gyokeres is Chelsea’s best option. The link-up between the two parties during the winter transfer is the club’s edge come summer.
Considering Gyokeres’ potential, it is almost certain that Chelsea won’t be enjoying an easy battle to land him. For one, the player should be willing to leave his present club and join Chelsea. Secondly, his talent should attract many clubs, including clubs ‘bigger’ and ‘better’ than Chelsea.
