Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning a major move for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Swedish forward has been in sensational form, scoring 40 goals and providing 10 assists in 41 appearances this season.
Gyokeres has been a standout performer in the 2024-25 Primeira Liga, netting 28 times in 25 matches as Sporting sit three points ahead of Benfica at the top of the table. Despite having three years left on his contract, the Portuguese club could struggle to keep hold of him, with Europe’s elite clubs vying for his signature.
Among the interested parties, Tottenham have emerged as potential contenders. Reports suggest that Ange Postecoglou’s side are prepared to submit a ‘super offer’ for the former Coventry City star, who is seen as a natural replacement for Harry Kane. Since Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich in 2023, Spurs have relied on Richarlison and Dominic Solanke, but neither has fully convinced.
Solanke, who arrived from Bournemouth for £65m, has managed just 11 goals in 33 games across all competitions, leaving Spurs keen to bolster their attacking options. Gyokeres has racked up 83 goals and 25 assists in just 91 games for Sporting, making him an attractive target for the North London club.
However, Tottenham’s disappointing domestic form could hinder their chances. Currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, their best shot at Champions League qualification could come via winning the Europa League, where they will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Manchester United and Chelsea are also monitoring Gyokeres, with United boss Ruben Amorim eager for a reunion after their success together at Sporting. Other reports suggest that the striker would prefer a move to Liverpool, Arsenal, or Manchester City, with the Reds currently leading the Premier League title race.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Gyokeres is set to be one of the most sought-after forwards, and Tottenham may have to fend off fierce competition to secure his signature.
