Arsenal and Chelsea target Gyokeres can't promise 'anything' right now

Viktor Gyokeres has been the surprise package of the 2023/24 Portuguese Liga. The Swede's incredible goalscoring form was key to Sporting Lisbon becoming champions on Sunday after Benfica lost 2-0 to Famalicao. 

The former Coventry City winger has scored an impressive 41 goals and provided 15 assists in his first season with the Portuguese club, which put him on Arsenal's radar as Mikel Arteta was keen on him, 'The Sun' reported. 

Meanwhile, Portuguese newspaper 'Record' reported an alleged £73m bid from Chelsea for the in-form striker in the winter transfer window, but Ruben Amorim's side were unwilling to let him leave for that price. 

These reports have led to speculation about a possible exit for Gyokeres, something the player himself spoke about after his side were crowned Portuguese champions. 

"I love being at Sporting. We will see what happens, I can't promise anything right now. I'm very happy here at Sporting, I'm under contract but things in football are always happening fast, we need to adapt," he said when asked about his future.
