Roberto Martinez has hailed CHELSEA FC target Victor Gyokeres as one of the best signings this season.

Gyokeres’ eye-watering €100m (£86m) release clause at Estadio Jose Alvalade has been well documented, but Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that Sporting could be prepared to agree a deal for half that price.
It remains to be seen if he will leave Sporting at the end of the season – but Martinez has opened up this week and claimed that Gyokeres is one of the best signings of the season for the Portuguese side.
‘For me, he was one of the best signings in the entire European market last summer,’ Martinez said of Gyokeres.
‘And it is fantastic for him to be playing in Portuguese football.’
