Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in signing Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres at the end of the campaign.



The 25-year-old scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists for Coventry City last term, but none of the Premier League clubs were interested in him.

He ended up making the switch from the Championship to the Primeira Liga where he has developed into one of the most sought-after strikers.

Gyokeres has been scoring for fun with 32 goals from 36 outings. He has also contributed 11 assists for the Portuguese giants in all competitions.

With such scintillating form, Arsenal and Chelsea are looking to sign him and Di Marzio claims that he won't come on the cheap this summer.

Sporting are likely to hold out for his €100 million release clause and could be reluctant to negotiate on the price in the next transfer window.

Gyokeres remains committed to Sporting at the moment and has no plans of forcing an exit in the summer unless the club's demands are met.
