Jose Mourinho has expressed his support for Enzo Maresca’s efforts to secure the signing of Viktor Gyokeres, a prolific striker who scored 43 goals for Sporting CP last season. Chelsea is one of the leading contenders to sign the Swedish forward this summer, as the club seeks to strengthen its attacking lineup.
For several months, there has been consistent speculation in the media about Chelsea’s intention to be active in the transfer market to enhance their forward options, with Gyokeres being a key target. His impressive performance, marked by 43 goals across all competitions, has drawn the attention of many top clubs.
In response to this interest, Betfair has updated the betting odds for Gyokeres’ next move, with Chelsea being backed at 5/1 to complete the deal.
Jose Mourinho has recently commented on Gyokeres’ potential impact at Stamford Bridge, praising his goal-scoring ability. Mourinho stated, “I watched him last year scoring goals for fun. You thought what a goalscorer and what a finisher.
Clubs sit on the fence and are scared to make a judgment. He’s good enough, he’ll score goals. He scored at Coventry, he has scored a lot of goals for Sporting. There’s talent out there that may not cost a lot of money, he is just the type of player that the Chelsea board likes to sign.”
Mourinho’s endorsement underscores Gyokeres’ quality and suitability for Chelsea, highlighting his proven track record in front of goal and his potential value as a cost-effective signing.
As the transfer window progresses, Chelsea’s pursuit of Gyokeres will be closely watched, with fans and analysts eager to see if the club can secure the services of the in-demand striker.
