Yes, you never know with players from Portuguese league and there is a question mark how he would handle PL but two very promising signs for me are:

1) his body and physics. I know how much determination is needed to build those muscles and this shows his personality. Much more likely person with that mindset to succeed than someone overweight like Lukaku or toxic personality like Osimhen etc... 

2) his national team games. Last year or two he is outscoring Isak who is arguably best PL striker. Isak 7 goals in last 18 games for Sweden. Gyokeres 13 in last 15. Also 6 in 8 for Sporting in CL. 

Honestly we should do everything in our power to get him.

 

Yes, I'd be onboard with an attempt to sign Gyokeres but would he be more interested in Arsenal, for example?

I could maybe understand it from our club’s perspective if Osimhen and Gyokeres were like 29 years old and they were concerned about them falling off after 3 years or something. But these guys are both just 25/26! They may not have even peaked yet and are each available for LESS than the £80m+ that Frankfurt are seeking for Ekitike!

Buying Osimhen or Gyokeres would be like when we bought Kante/Fabregas/Caicedo/Diego Costa. Players you just knew with certainty before they even touched the pitch that they’d work out perfectly. Why would we instead go for a striker that is such a risk? It’s just nonsensical to me.

Not really. Year 5 of Arteta is about to be topped by year 1 of Maresca.

Maybe I am just wrong, but for the same money spent, there seems to be much better options available? Maybe our sporting directors canned speech about the project only works on players that have not reached the top level?

 

Hmm. Just wish that claimed price tag would be lower. Would love for him to be part of the squad.

That being said, this club admin seems to prioritize lower wage fees over lower transfer fees.

So who knows how they prioritize a prospect like him over some one more established (but still a gamble) like Oshimen., that is very likely to command much higher wages.

Haven't yet heard about Gyokeres/Sesko but club continuously linked to Delap, Ekitike by credible reporters. 

[Pizy 18,888]

Saw some comparisons of Ekitike to Havertz and I do actually see it. He looks more polished from a technical POV though and actually has some power in his shooting unlike Kai.

I’m just trying to imagine Ekitike in a Chelsea shirt and wondering how big, physical CB’s across the PL would feel about playing against him. Can’t help but feel they’d fancy seeing a stick skinny kid up front for us. For example, going up against teams like Everton or Brentford who have CB’s who just want to bully you and beat the hell out of you for 90 minutes. Is he up for that?

Whereas with Osimhen and Gyokeres, they’re the ones who do the bullying.

If it's between him & Ekitike, I'd take him solely because of the price tag. I really hope neither end up in a Chelsea shirt, though.
