Viktor Gyokeres says it would be 'great revenge' to return to the Premier League as the Sporting CP star has shared his thoughts on his future.

Gyokeres is looking to force a move away from Sporting amid interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.

He has taken drastic action as he hopes to complete a stunning move back to England following his spells with Brighton and Coventry City.

Gyokeres has now spoken out about his future, claiming he will only join a club who 'really wants me'.

The 27-year-old, who was on the books at Brighton but didn't play a single Premier League game, is also looking for 'great revenge', having not played in England's top flight.

When asked about the next move of his career, he told France Football: "It’s football, you never know. I’m not thinking about it, we’ll see what happens.

"If something is going to happen, it will happen. The most important thing for me is to play for a club that really wants me."

On the Premier League, Gyokeres added: "It’s one of the biggest leagues in Europe.

"I spent several years there without being able to play a single match. So, of course, it’s something I would like to do. It would be a great revenge."

The Swedish international has established himself as one of the leading forwards in Europe following his impressive showings for Sporting.

He scored 43 goals in his debut campaign in Portugal following his move from Coventry before bagging an incredible 54 goals in 52 games last season.

Gyokeres, who made his name at Coventry, believes he is among the best forwards in today's game, saying: "I’m definitely one of them.

"It’s difficult to rank me but yes, I’m at the same table as them now.

"What I managed to do at Sporting, I’m convinced I can do anywhere. You haven’t seen the best of Gyokeres yet."
