Perhaps we don't need to sign a striker..... :-)
The reports seem to be that Gyokeres is a done deal (alongside Zubimendi)Quote:

67 goals in 65 appearances for Sporting.....not too shabbyQuote:

6 in 8 in CL, 9 in 6 in Nations League. 26 years old, peak years coming up. Certainly seems worth a puntQuote:

If it's two you want, one of them will have be Jonathan David because he will be available on a Bosman.Quote:
