Chelsea fans have responded with a mix of surprise and enthusiasm. Many believe Gyökeres brings the kind of physical presence, movement, and finishing ability the team has lacked up front.
His ability to press, link play, and score consistently could make him a key figure in new manager Enzo Maresca’s plans.Respected transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development, stating:“Here we go confirmed! Viktor Gyökeres to Chelsea is happening. Deal advanced and the player has landed in London.
