Tottenham can get £34m Viktor Gyokeres discount as striker transfer news emerges
Tottenham are unlikely to sign Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres despite being available for a cut-price fee, according to Paul Robinson.
Spurs could make a surprise move for the 26-year-old striker if a bargain deal can be agreed, according to GiveMeSport [17 July], with an £84million release clause in his current contract.
The Sweden international has impressed many suitors since joining the Portuguese giants last summer, having netted 43 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions.
However, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Robinson believes the signing poses too much of a risk for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
“Those stats are very impressive, but that’s only over a short period of time. It’s a lot of money for someone who hasn’t done it in the Premier League,” he said.
“Links to other strikers would be more suited to the way Ange Posteceoglou likes to play. I’m just not sure he’d hit the ground running in the Premier League – it’s a big fee and a big risk. I don’t think he’s done it for long enough.
