Nine months ago Moyes had the opportunity to move the 25-year-old striker from Coventry City to the London Stadium.

Since then, the Swede has been playing for the Portuguese team in incredible form, and Moyes must be kicking himself for not signing the forward.

West Ham Viktor Gyokeres mistake laid bare

There is currently an £85 million release clause in the contract of the strong, diligent, and talented striker with Sporting (Fabrizio Romano).

The only football teams in the world that might possibly consider making an offer close to that amount are the largest ones.

In 36 games in all competitions for Sporting (Transfermarkt), Gyokeres has amassed an incredible 32 goals and 11 assists.

In addition to being a willing runner, the Swede excels at stretching the defense by relentlessly running through the channels. He is adept at playing with his back to the goal, holding up the ball, and sidestepping defenders since he is equally strong with both feet.

The 25-year-old would have been a fantastic deal for the Hammers to sign for under £18 million, and I have no doubt that he would have been successful in the Premier League.

Unfortunately, we have no prospect of signing Viktor Gyokeres at this time, even if he would have been ideal for West Ham.
