Sporting keen to sign new Gyokeres | OneFootball

Sporting remain alert to the market ahead of next season and, in recent hours, another name has emerged linked with the green-and-white club. It is Zan Vipotnik, a striker who has been standing out in English football.

The information was reported by journalist Christian Vaquero, who has placed the Swansea City centre-forward on the list of potential targets. The player currently competes in the Championship, England’s second tier, where he has caught the eye with his performances, in a context similar to that of Viktor Gyokeres - who was in the lions’ dressing room - before moving to Alvalade.

At 24, the attacker is enjoying a season of a very high level, establishing himself as the competition’s top scorer with 21 goals in 40 matches. The forward is part of the team coached by Portuguese manager Vítor Matos.

Developed at Maribor, the Slovenia international has also played for clubs such as Gorica, Triglav and Bordeaux. His strong performances this season could open the door to a step up in his career, with Sporting one of the options on the table.

In the current sporting season, playing for Swansea, Zan Vipotnik - valued at €15 million - has already featured in 45 matches: 40 in the Championship, four in the EFL Cup and one in the FA Cup.
