•  Chelsea are not prioritising a move for Gyokeres this January, despite wanting to add firepower to the team.
•  Coventry City may miss out on profiting from Gyokeres’ future sale due to Chelsea’s focus on other targets.
•  Gyokeres’ impressive performances in Portugal could result in a big fee for Coventry if he is sold in the summer.

Chelsea are not prioritising a move for Viktor Gyokeres this January.

Football Insider claims that the Blues intend to bolster Mauricio Pochettino’s squad with some additional firepower.

The Sporting CP forward isn’t thought to be the team’s first pick, though; other options are being considered.

This might be a blow to Coventry City, who committed to a sell-on clause when they sold the forward last summer,

meaning they would profit from any future sales of the Swede.

Gyokeres has earned a lot of praise for his performances in Portugal, where he

has contributed 13 goals and eight assists from 17 Liga Nos appearances.

Coventry’s Gyokeres sell-on clause

Before being sold to the Sky Blues last summer, Gyokeres was a vital member of the team.

The striker helped the squad get to the play-off final last year with 21 goals and

10 assists, but he was let go since they were unable to defeat Luton Town.

The 25-year-old was recruited by Sporting Clube de Portugal for an initial

fee of €20 million (£17.1 million), with the option to increase on €4 million (£3.4 million).

Coventry may make money from the player again in the future because to a

sell-on clause that was agreed. The clause was worth 15% of any future sale.

According to reports, Chelsea is considering making an offer this month

of €85 million (£73 million), which would bring in a considerable sum for the Championship team.

But it seems the London team may investigate other options before making

a move for the player who is based in Portugal.

Chelsea have struggled for form this season despite spending a fortune

bringing in a whole new squad for Pochettino following his arrival as manager in the summer.

The Blues are currently ninth in the Premier League table.
