    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Gyokeres has become a hotly-desired commodity over the last few months as he has been in stellar form with newly-crowned Portuguese champions, Sporting. As such Arsenal and Chelsea have been the two most commonly mentioned names linked with the attacker. After winning the Primeira Liga, the €110 million (£85.6m/$107.8m) rated striker gave hope of a potential move by refusing to rule out a summer exit.

  • WHAT GYOKERES SAID

    The striker told Bola Na Rede: "It was a good day and we will definitely celebrate. Let's see what will happen, it's just beginning. It's my first title. I explain the celebration at the end of the season, after the league and cup. Let's try to win everything. Ruben Amorim is a great coach, I wouldn't mind if he continued (laughs). I had many coaches, but of course Ruben Amorim brought me here, he was very important in my career.

    "Thank you Sportinguistas, see you soon. It's football, I can't promise anything, I have a contract and I won't be sad if I stay, I'm very happy, but we'll see what happens. We can't predict much, but let's see what next year will be like, we still have games this season."
