Gyokeres on transfer links

Despite being six months apart,

"It's not something I think about, nor something I give any importance to," Gyokeres said when quizzed on transfer talk in November. "It's just rumours, nothing concrete.

"Of course I want to finish the season at Sporting, I'm enjoying my time there. "I don't feel stressed about making a change in the future. We'll see when the time comes."

"It's football, I'm still here," the 26-year-old told Portuguese broadcaster Sport.TV, as per , after Sporting's title triumph. "I don't know what's going to happen. Nobody can predict the future."

Arteta and Berta stance

As per the , new sporting director Andrea Berta is a huge fan of Gyokeres with interest in acquiring his services stepping up following his arrival in March.

However, it does not look as though Arteta sees things that way with Newcastle United's Alexander Isak his dream target. With their asking price extremely high, it is very unlikely that deal is financially achievable and thus a back-up option will need to be identified but that is not believed to be Gyokeres.

Instead, it is RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko that he is a big fan of with the Slovenia international strongly linked last season only to sign a new contract in Germany.
