Next season, PSG will have to play without Kylian Mbappé. While the French international is announced at Real Madrid, his departure will be a huge loss. We will therefore have to fill this enormous gap during the next transfer market. While PSG would be very interested in Victor Osimhen, the profile of Viktor Gyökeres would also appeal to Parisians. The Sporting Portugal scorer could be a great asset for Luis Enrique.
At 25 years, Viktor Gyökeres is having a flamboyant season in Portugal with the Sports. Indeed, in 47 matches in all competitions, the Swede has scored 41 goals and provided 15 assists. It is only natural that his name is the subject of numerous rumors as the summer transfer window approaches. There was particular talk of PSG’s interest in Gyökeres who would think of him like that for the future Kylian Mbappé.
“He’s a world-class striker”
While Viktor Gyökeres is still little known to the general public, Bruno De Carvalhoformer president of Sporting Portugal, confided in the Swede. For The Parisianhe then announced: “ He’s a world-class striker, and big clubs hunt these kinds of players. He has a 100 million clause, but some clubs can lift it and recruit him. For me, it’s natural, it’s no surprise. He’s the best striker in Portugal and one of the best in Europe, for sure. He is Sporting’s most important player this season, the man of the title “.
“On a whole new level, he reminds me a little of Erling Haaland”
Journalist specializing in Portuguese football, Gary DeJesus explained to him about Viktor Gyökeres : “ He is a powerful, intense and cold striker in front of goal. He has impressive flair. On a whole other level, he reminds me a little of Erling Haaland. He’s not an esthete, but he arms very quickly and always finds shooting positions. He uses depth a lot. His style is very different from that of Gonçalo Ramos – even if they have common qualities, in self-sacrifice and pressing. Ramos will rather highlight the others, play with one touch. With his back to the game, Gyökeres will turn around and strike, if I caricature. It was a hit across the country. There is a real Gyökeres mania. His celebration, in which he forms a mask with his hands, went viral. When he scores, the whole stadium imitates him! Lots of children do it outside, people have taken hold of it “.
