After trying his hand at various sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When it came to choosing between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales in one direction. He is now part of the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after obtaining a degree from the International Institute of Communication in .

A serial goalscorer for Sporting Portugal, Viktor Gyökeres continues to make headlines with his performances. While we thought that these performances could have opened the doors to the biggest European clubs for him this summer, the Swede stayed in Lisbon. However, there was talk of an interest from PSG. Gyökeres ultimately did not join the capital club, even if Samir Nasri believes that he would have done Luis Enrique a lot of good.

Not having wanted to extend his contract to PSGKylian Mbappé therefore left the capital club freely this summer. Without much surprise, he signed with the real Madrid. For Parisit was obviously a huge loss, seeing a player capable of scoring more than 40 goals per season let him down. We were expecting to see a star arrive at PSG to make people forget Mbappewhether with the arrival of a winger or a striker. At this number 9 position, the name of Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting Portugal) had notably circulated around the Parc des Princes.

“Here is a profile that would have done PSG some good”

Driving the counters crazy in Lisbon, Viktor Gyökeres did not finally move from Sporting Portugal this summer. However, he could have been a real asset in addition to the PSG. This is what was explained Samir Nasri during the Canal Club : ” Gyökeres? He’s a real number 9. That’s a profile that would have done PSG good. He’s a striker who isn’t just a fox in the box, but who is good with his back to the game, he connects very well with his midfield. A scorer like that when he’s well served, he hits the mark every time “.

Luis Campos and the Gyökeres case

A few days ago, Luis Campos had also expressed himself on Viktor Gyökeres. On the occasion of the Thinking Football Summitthe football advisor of PSG dropped on the scorer of the Sporting Portugal : ” Could Gyokeres be a good solution for PSG’s attack? We are very happy with Gonçalo Ramos and he is very happy at the club. The coach is also happy with Asensio. We have opted for the solution of continuity. The players need time, they need to adapt to the club, which is very demanding. It is a club that wants to win every game. “.
