To no one's surprise, Viktor Gyökeres has scored again. The Swedish star has been one of the great sensations of the season, scoring 13 goals and providing 5 assists in 13 games, and he confirmed this status again this Tuesday in the duel between Sporting CP and Sturm Graz at the Merkur Arena.
In the second half, and with the Austrians threatening to equalise the score at 0-1, the goalscorer pulled out of his hat a new trick to extend the lead and relieve his team. The footballer received the ball close to the left side of the field, where he was able to make room for himself through physical strength and drove the ball into the opponent's area, where he feinted, dribbled the goalkeeper and defined at a level that has rarely been seen.
Barça keep an eye on Gyökeres
A goal from Gyökeres that justifies the 100 million euros that the Lisbon side would demand for his transfer next summer. The performance of the Nordic star is not going unnoticed by the big clubs, and FC Barcelona is one of them.
The Catalans are looking for a short or medium-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski and the '9' of Sporting CP is gaining ground night after night to take on this role. The footballer has shown that he has enough personality on the big stages and in his team's 3 games in this Champions League he has already scored 2 goals.
In addition, in the 8 games of the lions in the Liga NOS he has scored 11 goals, so the Catalans will have to put the machinery in motion to 'tie him down' given the interest of other institutions in signing him, regardless of the 100 million euros that are beginning to seem 'cheap' for one of the best scorers of today.
