Our Big Swede has been called up for upcoming Nations League matches.
They have 4 games in 10 days, early June. You'd imagine he'll get some decent game time.
No rest for him though really over the summer.

Big question for us this summer is whether Gyokeres’ value will ever be higher than it will be in this window. A string of good performances in these few games could push it up to an irresistible level.
Am I the only one that doesn't want any bids?
No. I’d rather keep him. The money (or in practice probably less than 50% of what is received) sounds good but his goals and overall game will be unbelievably difficult to replace. We could find another Gyo but we could also end up with another Walker.
Got to disagree. A proper centre forward is the focal point of almost any good side (unless you've got billions of pounds of talent like Man City), and Gyokeres is the best we've had since dropping out of the Prem IMO. He takes the fight to the opposition in a way that someone like Walker will never do. Look at how Everton and Leeds fell off a cliff in the absence of Calvert-Lewin and Bamford. Albeit at a level below, Vik is our equivalent of those players, and would be incredibly hard to replace.In fairness, even if we did sell and replace him with another Walker, that’s still a pretty good side, even before you get to reinvesting the rest of the cash.

I think potentially could reach that if he scores a couple goals for SwedenWith vik minimum 18 million age,potential only improving make that 20 million

I can't see all three of the big names starting the season - it suits season ticket sales to keep up the pretence. If Gyoks becomes a full blown international on the back of this opportunity then we can't afford to hold on to him and, frankly, he'd be daft to stay.
Yeah think he’s quite unlucky actually, Sweden got their best attacking options in years and all youngHe may start one game because they have 4 in 11 days I think it is. Elanga, Isak and Kulusevski are ahead of him in the forward positions. Last time he was called up he didn’t even make the bench
There needs to be some investment in the side regardless, but it would feel very much one step forward and two steps back if we funded it by selling Viktor. He is our best player in my opinion.
Not necessarily. It really depends on your recruitment. Brentford sold Watkins for ~30m and replaced him with Toney for a third of that. Toney has probably done better at Brentford than Watkins which is some achievement!
Dont know the ins and outs of the Watkins sale. But in our scenario if we get £15m (at very most and this is optimistic) then Brighton probably get half. SISU then take a fair chunk for the investors and/or a big percentage goes to the club’s running costs. in reality MR could get as little as £2-£5m to reinvest. In absence of finding another gem then it may not touch the sides in replacing what Gyo is to the team.
Its all moot if his head gets turned and he wants to go but I just can’t get too excited about the potential income from his sale.
There's no way Brighton get half. Maybe 20% of profit, wouldn't think much more.
Id agree if we’d paid proper money for him but if it was the £1m mooted I’d assume they’ve got a massive sell on in there.
