Liverpool look to fix their BIGGEST problem with Viktor Gyokeres | OneFootball

Liverpool reportedly want to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. He would fix their biggest problem right now.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany claims Liverpool are one of a few clubs looking to sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Swede is expected to depart Portugal at the end of the season, and the Reds join Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City with interest in him.

Gyokeres would cost around £50m, which could rise due to the competition. Still, it's potentially a bargain price for one of Europe's most exciting strikers.

Per Opta data on FBref, Gyokeres is one of the most dominant players outside the 'big 5' European leagues. He's in the top three per cent of strikers for xG and the top two per cent for expected assists.

That ends up looking even better when you consider his actual goals: 12 in 9 Primeira Liga games this season. It's coming off a debut season where Gyokeres scored 29 and assisted another 10 just in the league as Sporting won the title.

He's playing sensational football, in other words, and looks ideal to fix Liverpool's biggest problem.
