Viktor Gyokeres refuses to be drawn on Leeds United 'rumours' amid speculation over future

Viktor Gyokeres has acknowledged rumours linking him with Leeds United and a move to the Premier League, but insists he is solely focused on performing for Coventry City.

The Sweden international has been subject to interest from a number of Premier League clubs, with West Ham and Everton also reportedly chasing his signature.

Gyokeres has found the net 18 times in 38 games for Coventry in the Championship this season, and scored a further 17 goals for the Sky Blues last season.

He has registered the joint-most direct goal involvements in the Championship along with Middlesbrough marksman Chuba Akpom (26). The 24-year-old also scored in Sweden's 5-0 win over Azerbaijan on Monday, and has refused to 'dedicate any energy' to his future until the summer.

“These are just rumours. We’ll see what happens in the summer. I try not to get any info about it right now. I want to focus on the matches. So, you have to take it then," Gyokeres revealed in an interview with Swedish outlet Fotboll Skanalen.

“There is no transfer window now. So, it feels a little unnecessary to put energy on it now.”
