It's difficult to find a more prolific striker at the moment than Viktor Gyokeres. The new demonstration of his talent, in the Champion's League, against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, is enough to understand that he is a crack. After scoring a quadruple in the league against Amadora (5-1), Gyokeres scored a hat-trick against City (4-1)! More than ever, his rating is skyrocketing on the transfer market. And PSG is seriously thinking about him for this winter.
Paris – Lisbon, it works
For the Gyokeres file, PSG is several steps ahead of its competitors. The first is the excellent relationship between Paris and Lisbon. The recent transfers of Nuno Mendes and Manuel Ugarte show that the two clubs know how to get along. In the other direction, boys like Jesé or Pablo Sarabia also maintained relations between the respective leaders.
Luis Campos has been following him for two years
On the lookout for rising stars of European football, Luis Campos had already spotted Viktor Gyokeres before his arrival at Sporting. The Portuguese has already spoken with his representative and knows the Swede's clan. A definite advantage for any future discussions. And for PSG, it is the third and biggest asset, the project has something to seduce the ambitious Gyokeres. In Europe, no other club can offer him a starting place on financial conditions like those that Paris can offer him. The big European cars have all their attackers, only PSG is looking to install a number 9 in a row…
Rabiot is gaining momentum
The latest arrival in the Marseille transfer window, Adrien Rabiot has the excuse of truncated preparation. But the OM midfielder has not yet shown the expected face. That of the experienced midfielder who brings a plus in important matches. Roberto De Zerbi is counting on him a lot and gives him two more months before being at the top.
