[Albion] Albion agree deal for Viktor Gyokeres

[Bozza]

Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed a deal to sign Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from IF Brommapojkarna, with the player set to link up with the under-23 squad from 1st January 2018.

The 19-year-old will sign a two-and-a-half-year contract until June 2020, and the deal is set to be completed when the January transfer window opens.

Under-23 coach Simon Rusk said, “We are delighted that we’ve moved a big step closer to bringing Viktor into the squad.

“He is someone who has an impressive scoring record for his country at under-19 level, and he will add good competition for places in the forward areas.”

Gyokeres was the joint top scorer in this summer’s UEFA European Under-19 Championship, scoring three goals in three appearances for Sweden.

Good news.

Shall I? Nah... leave it, G1976, leave it.

Excellent.

Maybe only 1 first team striker now needed in January.

 

[Petee]

Whooooooo?

Another Scandinavian striker to disappear in our u23s never to be seen in the first team? Hope I'm wrong.

If this doesn't shut up the "do your transfer business early" merchants, nothing will.

Looks interesting, I have no doubt in my mind we will see a few more of these announcements for U23 and first team over the next few months.

Well, as the rumour was there weeks ago I would still say they missed the deadline and finalized it about one week too late...

LoL

Do we count U23s?

Bit like penalty kicks really if Ashley Barnes or Hemed take them.....

If only they put that effort into first team affairs then it probably would

Are you on PB's payroll now

If it wasn't such a short succinct post I'd be even more suspicious

 

[Peter Grummit]

As an U21, he could presumably be brought into the PL squad if required?

Once it gets to January, yes.

Yes - but of course his transfer doesn't go through until Jan 1st, so we'll have to wait for now.

Hudds thinking of doing away with their youth academy as none are coming through good enough to play in the first team,hmmmmmm.

In the midst of 'Striker-gate' its been lost that we've done some fantastic work this summer in bringing loads of young players into the club. The future really does look bright for us.
