Transfer notebook: Viktor Gyokeres major update, Tottenham risk losing star player, Kyle Walker could join Championship club
Viktor Gyokeres is in no rush to leave Sporting in January for the Premier League, talkSPORT understands.
Gyokeres is attracting interest from some of England's biggest clubs after scoring 24 goals in 21 games this season, including a hat-trick against city of manchester.
New manchester united Manager Ruben Amorim would be interested in the Swede following him from Lisbon to Old Trafford, but United would struggle to meet Sporting's asking price, believed to be around £80m.
Champions City have also been shown to be interested, although their priorities are likely to be strengthening other areas of the team unless there is a risk of losing Erling Haaland.
Arsenal are another potential option for Gyokeres, but he is happy to finish the season in Portugal and evaluate his options in the summer.
Former clubs Coventry and Brighton will benefit when Gyokeres is sold as they have sell-on clauses on the 26-year-old.

Romero's risky business
Tottenham risk losing defender Cristian Romero if they fail to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Romero is out of contract in 2027 and Spurs are eager to tie the Argentina international to a new deal.
However, talkSPORT understands that Romero, who will turn 27 early next year, is eager to test himself against Europe's elite after playing just a handful of Champions League games.
spanish giants real Madrid are well-known admirers of Romero, whose partnership with Micky van de Ven is central to Ange Postecoglou's plan to take Spurs into the top four.

Walk him on his back
Sheffield United are interested in re-signing Manchester City defender Kyle Walker, 15 years after he left his hometown club.
Walker is one of the players City will consider releasing at the end of the season in a bid to regenerate an aging squad.
The England right-back is expected to receive lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia and the MLS, but has made no secret of the fact that he would like to finish his career at Bramall Lane.
With the Blades currently top of the Championship, that dream could become a reality.
Walker was part of the United team that reached the 2009 play-off final before being sold to Tottenham in 2009 and has been with City since 2017, winning six Premier League titles.

A fleeting romance
Everton are back on the trail of highly rated Fleetwood goalkeeper David Harrington.
Former Republic of Ireland under-21 international Harrington recently pledged his allegiance to Wales and was called up by Craig Bellamy for last month's Nations League double-header against Turkey and Iceland.

Harrington has made 16 appearances for Charlie Adam's men this season.
