Burnley aim to spend big on Coventry City man – but it’s not Callum O’Hare

Burnley are keen on Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres, reports Alan Nixon.

Gyokeres, 24, has been in fine form once again this season, with nine goals to his name in the Championship so far.

The Swedish international netted 17 goals in the Championship last time round, making him the target of a number of clubs going into last summer’s transfer window.

But Nixon has revealed on his Patreon page this morning that Championship leaders Burnley are now keen on the Coventry City favourite, and that the Clarets are ready to spend big on him.

What club does Tom Heaton currently play for?

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is also an admirer of Gyokeres’ Coventry teammate Callum O’Hare who was reportedly close to signing for the Clarets last summer.

Coventry City currently sit in 12th place of the table after coming int form – Mark Robins’ side had endured a poor start to the season but they’ve won their last four in the league.

Gyokeres going nowhere?

With Coventry now looking like dark horses in the race for top-six, the Sky Blues will be determined to keep hold of Gyokeres beyond January.

But Burnley have ambitions of their own, and they’ll like have money to spend in January and so this one is a really tough one to predict.

Gyokeres would certainly help to bolster Burnley’s promotion credentials and Kompany doesn’t have too many striker options to call upon.

It could come down to money. Coventry will put a hefty price tag on Gyokeres but he’ll have his price, and Coventry City wouldn’t say no to a decent transfer fee.

Burnley return to action v QPR next weekend whilst Coventry face Reading.
