The Sweden international has been in sensational form for Sporting this term, scoring 18 goals and registering 10 assists.

His form has caught the eye of Chelsea scouts and it remains to be seen whether they can persuade him to join.

Gyokeres currently has a release clause worth €100m in his contract and Sporting won't sell for less in January.

The Blues are capable of meeting the demands to activate the clause, but Gyokeres seems unlikely to leave them.

The striker recently promised that he will see out the season with Sporting, who are happy to keep him until the summer.

Aside from the Blues, Arsenal are also in the running to land the Swede, who was most recently with Coventry City.

The striker is likely to be tempted to test himself in the Premier League following his title challenge with Sporting.
