Viktor Gyökeres is a new addition to the football team of Sporting Clube de Portugal. The 25-year-old forward, who previously played for English side Coventry City FC, signed a contract on Thursday until 2028, with a release clause set at one hundred million euros.
In his first statements as a Lion, the Swedish international, who last season scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists in 50 games, expressed satisfaction with his decision to join Alvalade.
“It’s a fantastic feeling [signing for Sporting CP], I was expecting this and it’s great to have everything finalized and finally be here. I’m very happy,” he said in an interview with Sporting TV, showing familiarity with the club’s reality and history.
“Many great players have passed through here, and Sporting CP produces a lot of good players. The club has a rich history, and when I learned of their interest, it was an easy choice. I had other options, but I felt that Sporting CP was the team most interested in me, and when someone wants you, it means they really want you and will take care of you. This was the best option,” he emphasized.
