Tottenham Hotspur have a chance to sign one of Europe’s most prolific strikers for a reduced fee this summer.
Ange Postecoglou’s team is in high spirits after a successful start to their pre-season, having defeated Cambridge United and Hearts with a combined score of 12 goals.
Despite these successes, Tottenham still need reinforcements in several areas before the transfer window closes.
A new striker is a top priority, and Spurs are now linked with a surprising move for Dejan Kulusevski’s international teammate.
Tottenham have shown interest in Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon, with growing confidence that Sporting’s demands will lower.
While Gyokeres has a release clause of €100 million (£84m), it is expected to decrease. Reports suggest that Tottenham might pursue the talented Swedish international if assurances are given about a bargain fee.
Although the exact reduced price is not mentioned, it is revealed that Postecoglou aims to sign two attackers.
Tottenham will face competition, as Arsenal are also interested in Gyokeres, who could be available for around £60 million.
Gyokeres’ impressive stats since joining Sporting Lisbon include 43 goals and 15 assists in all competitions, making him a potential replacement for Harry Kane, who scored 44 goals and provided 12 assists in his debut season at Bayern Munich.
If Spurs secure Gyokeres for an affordable fee, they could finally find a successor to Kane at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
