In September, CaughtOffside reported that Chelsea, Tottenham, and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres.

Tottenham appears to be leading the race right now, per the report.

Meanwhile Chelsea sees Gyokeres as more of a backup option as they prioritize Victor Osimhen.

Chelsea plans to potentially bid in January or next summer.

PSG is also monitoring Gyokeres, supported by a strong relationship with Sporting.

However, any transfer for the Parisian club would likely depend on whether they decide to part with either Goncalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani at the end of the season, a decision still up in the air.

Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports Germany recently revealed that while Gyokeres has a EUR100 million release clause, there's an agreement allowing him to leave Sporting next summer for around EUR60 million to EUR70 million.

TEAMTalk reported on Friday that Gyokeres is now a prime target for Arsenal as well.

Manchester United's recent hiring of Sporting CP's manager has changed the situation significantly, and the Gunners might wait until the end of the season before committing to the PS84 million investment needed to bring him to England.

"Gyokeres costs EUR100m (PS83.

7m) and it's very difficult," Amorim said (h/t TEAMTalk).

"I'm not going to pick up any Sporting player in January.

"Moreover, the Swedish striker was also recently asked about joining the Red Devils to reunite with his former manager.

"Going with Amorim to Manchester United? I don't know," Gyokeres replied when asked about the possibility of joining Amorim following his four-goal display against Estrela on Friday night.

"I'm here.

As you can see, I enjoy it at Sporting.

It's nothing I really think about.

I'm sad about him [Amorim] leaving.

We wish him all the best.
