The Portuguese coach lauds the Chelsea target as one of the finest additions to Europe this year.

According to Roberto Martinez, the head coach of Portugal, Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting is one of the best signings in Europe this season. Despite facing competition from top clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea, Gyokeres has made a huge impact at Sporting since his transfer from Coventry City for €24m last summer. With an impressive record of 36 goals in 39 appearances, Gyokeres has proven himself as a top striker and a valuable asset to his team.

Despite Chelsea’s unsuccessful bid for Gyokeres, Sporting remains firm on their decision to not sell the player unless his release clause of £85m is met. However, Martinez, the manager of the Belgium national team, acknowledged Gyokeres’ impressive performances in the Portuguese league and praised him as one of the best signings of last summer in the entire European market. This recognition highlights the talent and potential of Gyokeres, and it will be interesting to see if any club is willing to meet his release clause in the future.
