'The other' Luis Suarez ensuring Sporting don't miss Gyokeres

When Sporting CP signed Viktor Gyokeres, they took quite the gamble on a striker whose only consistent form in front of goal had come outside of the top-flight.

However, wanting to sign the France forward and actually managing to do so are two very different things altogether.
