Chelsea are not scared of paying €100 million to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres at the turn of the year.
The Swede signed for Sporting from Coventry City last summer and he has made an instant impression for them.
He has 17 goals and eight assists from only 20 appearances and there is talk of him leaving Sporting next month.
Correio da Manha claim that Sporting manager Ruben Amorim is scared of losing Gyokeres in the next window.
He has a release clause worth €100m in his deal, but the price does not scare Chelsea, who have loads of money.
Chelsea spent nearly €330m on signings last winter and went on to pay another €450m on purchases last summer.
Despite this, they are languishing in mid-table and Mauricio Pochettino should be backed with more winter funds.
Gyokeres could end up at Stamford Bridge as their new number nine.
Nicolas Jackson looks likely to be benched with a new arrival, considering his inconsistent performances this campaign.
