TBR Football have now received an update involving Viktor Gyokeres – after the Swede was linked with a move to Nottingham Forest.
The Sporting CP No.9 has become one of the best strikers in Europe ever since swapping Coventry for Lisbon back in July 2023 – scoring 40 goals in just 41 appearances across all competitions so far this season.
Remarkably, the Sweden international is even on track to outdo his impressive total of 43 goals in 50 games from last term.

However, Nottingham Forest have been mentioned as a potential destination in recent weeks, with the Reds on course to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season.

Viktor Gyokeres in talks with English clubs, but not Nottingham Forest
Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent for TBR Football – has now been told that the Sporting CP talisman is not a target for those at the City Ground.
We understand the representatives of Gyokeres are in talks with a number of Premier League clubs, although Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are not one of them.
TBR Football are aware that Nottingham Forest are looking to bolster their attacking department with European football likely to be on the schedule next season, and are keen to sign Wolves No.10 Matheus Cunha.
Brentford No.11 Yoane Wissa is also a target for the Reds, who looked at signing the DR Congo international during the winter transfer window.
Where Viktor Gyokeres could end up if Sporting CP No.9 opts for Premier League move
TBR Football understand Manchester United like Gyokeres along with Arsenal – and Ruben Amorim knows the prolific striker well having coached him in Lisbon.
The 26-year-old impressively scored 66 goals in just 68 games under the Portuguese tactician.
We understand Chelsea are also looking at Gyokeres – as the Blues aim to find some competition for Nicolas Jackson at Stamford Bridge.
