From the Athletic:-

Brighton’s Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres is set to switch from Swansea to Championship rivals Coventry on loan, reports Andy Naylor.

The Athletic understands the 22-year-old also attracted interest in his homeland from Malmo, but Gyokeres and Brighton both prefer that he continues to pursue a career in the UK.

Opportunities have been limited for Gyokeres since joining Swansea in October. Nine of his 12 appearances have been as a substitute. He scored his only goal for the club in one of his three starts in Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup win at Stevenage.

Moving to Coventry reunites Gyokeres with Brighton team-mate Leo Ostigard. The 21-year-old Norwegian defender spent last season on loan with Gyokeres to St Pauli in Bundesliga 2.

Gyokeres has made eight first-team appearances for Brighton, all in the FA Cup or Carabao Cup. Ostigard has yet to make a senior appearance for his parent club.

Suggested him in the summer when we signed Ostigaard and before Walker. Makes a huge amount of sense. Think he hasn't been playing down the middle for Swansea when he has and been playing off the front man more. He's a striker though.

wingy · Jan 14, 2021

A team of Victor's sounds ok.

jordan210 · Jan 14, 2021

Look at us taking players from rival teams.

He played 2 International friendlies a few years ago.

Gona change my name to Jördan

Jesse Carver · Jan 14, 2021

Full international too.

Wiseoldfool · Jan 14, 2021

I don't know if it's a coincidence but the Scandinavian supporters club on facebook said there was an incoming striker signing today,and Swedish supporters in particular would be interested

Sky Blue Pete · Jan 14, 2021

Hope so

jordan210 · Jan 14, 2021

Standard YouTube scout video

Jesse Carver · Jan 14, 2021

Looks like St Pauli were keen to keep both him and Leo this season.

Not sure if he will come here now that IKEA has been shutdown.

Bit of a Swedish pretty boy, may be just a plaything for Joy .

jordan210 · Jan 14, 2021

Swansea fans on Facebook saying he is the worst striker they have seen. Cant get near the ball and cant hold the ball up....

Not sure they have seen our other options.

Dimi_Konstantflapalot · Jan 14, 2021

Makes 6 loanees in the squad if true - so one of McCallum, Giles, Sheaf, Ostigard, James or Gyokeres will have to be left out in each game...

Looks good. Fingers crossed

SuperFred · Jan 14, 2021

Sheaf, ostigard, James, McCallum, Giles and this guy would take us to 6 loans. I assume the rule is still only 5 allowed in a match day squad?

Greggs · Jan 14, 2021

Oh yes!!! The CIty are signing Internationals!!!!!!

Would presume it would be one of McCallum or Giles to be dropped unless we have any scope to turn one of the loans into a permanent deal. When does the window for either of them to be recalled shut?

Not too worried about that. Always reflect on how bad Forest fans were saying David McGoldrick was.

cc84cov · Jan 14, 2021

Surely Leo has give robins a full review of this lad if true

mrtrench · Jan 14, 2021

I think he more nous than our fit options. In about the third goal in that vid he runs across the defender once in the box. Max was in a similar position last week and didn't do so and was hence pushed away from goal. Also not a hint of a smile even after scoring. It's a yes from me.

Seamus1 · Jan 14, 2021

Could we possibly sign Sheaf permanently now for a nominal £1, then pay Arsenal the 2nd instalment of £949,999 in Summer?

cc84cov · Jan 14, 2021

He’s got a fantastic smile it’s thumbs up from me

cc84cov · Jan 14, 2021

Makes perfect sense he’s been recalled clearly to go to another championship club leo is here and was with him last season,I think this will happen

Sky Blue Harry H · Jan 14, 2021

Just bobbed onto the Swansea forum. Doesn't sound like he's had much of a chance - but they have got Ayew and Lowe who would always be ahead of him. If we need a body (which we do), sounds like a no brainer. Hopefully we will have done our research on him. As somebody else suggested, MattyGodden could effectively be out for most/all of the season, and we have to be careful not to rush Walker back before he is ready, so we need somebody in.

Ccfcisparks · Jan 14, 2021

I'm sure he could play in the O'Hare/ Allen role that has that role behind the striker too. Fits the bill in both senses.

Brighton Sky Blue · Jan 14, 2021

Just heard the deal has been pulled because he was last seen smiling in training this week.

Was thinking along those lines too... Interesting to know where all parties are at with this.

Think it's a £10,000 fine for hosting any at the moment....

AFCCOVENTRY · Jan 14, 2021

Well we need a striker and can’t complain too much. Brighton will like what we are doing with Leo and giving him game time.

And the facebook fans page will blame Sheaf for it too!

Yeah, but with the virus and lockdowns, there's an awful lot of repeats about.

AOM · Jan 14, 2021

Are the Athletic usually reliable?
