‘One hundred percent’ – Coventry City boss makes transfer prediction about Viktor Gyokeres after Fulham links emerge

Gyokeres signed for Coventry City ahead of the season just concluded. He’d start the season in blistering form, eventually ending the campaign with 17 Championship goals in 45 outings, after rediscovering his scoring touch in the final weeks of the campaign.

And at the start of this month, reports emerged claiming that Fulham had made a formal approach to sign the Swedish international. CoventryLive reporter Andy Turner then revealed that Fulham hadn’t made an approach, but Sky Blues boss Robins is expecting Premier League interest in his star striker this summer.

Speaking to CoventryLive, he said of the 23-year-old:

“I think he has all the physical attributes for that and he’s scored 18 goals in his first full season in the Championship so there will definitely be people looking at him from the Premier League, one hundred percent.”

Will Gyokeres leave this summer?

Gyokeres signed for Coventry on a three-year deal last summer. The Sky Blues are under no pressure to sell the Swede then, but they may be weary of finding themselves in a contract stand-off at the end of next season.

Say that Gyokeres remains at Coventry this summer and goes on to score 20 or so Championship goals next season, he’ll then have even more Premier League interest, and only a year left on his Coventry deal.

That might mean the Sky Blues would be forced to sell at a price that might not be fair for Gyokeres, so Robins and Coventry City certainly find themselves in a difficult situation here.

But he’s a quality player that the Sky Blues have uncovered and Robins will be keen to keep him at the club.
