Despite Viktor Gyokeres' outstanding record of 97 goals in 102 appearances for Sporting Lisbon, doubts persist about his ability to perform in the Premier League. Former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand expressed skepticism, noting Gyokeres' challenges in adapting to higher-level competition. Although top clubs like Arsenal and Juventus are interested, Sporting's president indicated they have not received substantial offers. Gyokeres' journey from being overlooked at Brighton to becoming a prolific scorer raises questions about his potential impact in England's top league.
I don't think he's the guy. I've watched him probably three times really, really closely. And three times I've gone: 'He ain't getting that opportunity in the Prem'.
Top clubs are circling for the former Brighton player after an outstanding couple of seasons with Sporting...where he played under United boss Ruben Amorim.
He has gone from leaving Brighton without playing a single minute of Premier League football to becoming one of Europe's most prolific marksmen.
Despite doubts over his Premier League adaptability, Gyokeres averaged more than a goal per game with 54 goals in 52 appearances last season.
