Tottenham backed to sign Viktor Gyokeres as ‘ridiculously good’ transfer claim emerges

John Wenham has piled praise on Tottenham-linked forward Viktor Gyokeres.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose believes that the Sporting Lisbon number nine would be “an exciting signing.”

It comes after reliable Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe revealed via X (13 May) that Gyokeres is on a list of strikers that Tottenham are considering making a move for.

And Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes the 25-year-old has plenty to offer.

“Gyokeres at Sporting Lisbon is a very interesting link,” Wenham said.

“He had the experience in England with Coventry City, where he was very impressive.

“His overall game is good. He is big and strong, he can play on the ball and his finishing is ridiculously good.”

“That would be an exciting signing.”

Viktor Gyokeres can take Tottenham to the next level under Ange Postecoglou

One of the main things Spurs were missing last season was a consistent number nine.

Son Heung-min isn’t a natural striker and Richarlison couldn’t always be relied upon.

Gyokeres on the other hand is a player who Spurs could certainly count on.

The Sweden international scored 43 goals and provided 15 assists in all competitions last season.

If he were to make a move to North London, he could take Ange Postecoglou’s side to the next level.
