Nottingham Forest in the Race for Viktor Gyokeres
Nottingham Forest has emerged as a serious contender in the race to sign Sporting Lisbon's prolific striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish international, who has been in scintillating form, scoring an impressive 83 goals across all competitions this season, has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea.
Reports from TeamTalk and Football Transfers indicate that Forest has reached out to Gyokeres' representatives, signaling their intent to bring the 40-goal striker to the City Ground. This move comes as a blow to Manchester United, who had been dreaming of securing Gyokeres' services. Forest's interest in the forward aligns with their strategy to bolster their attacking options ahead of the next season.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur has also been linked with a significant investment in a striker, though their interest seems to be shifting towards a different target. This development could open the door wider for Nottingham Forest to swoop in and finalize a deal for Gyokeres, who is seen as a key piece in their summer transfer plans.
