Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres will face a massive decision about his future as a shock club has emerged in the final days of the early transfer window.

Just one week after the transfer window opened, it is already clear that the transfer saga surrounding Sporting star Gyokeres may be one of the biggest stories of the summer.

The highly-rated 27-year-old has been strongly linked with several of the biggest clubs in Europe, especially within the Premier League with Liverpool and Arsenal both believed to be interested.

But now, a new club has come out of nowhere as a potential candidate to secure Gyokeres' signature, and it's created an interesting scenario for the star striker.

With just one week left until the Club World Cup gets underway in the United States, clubs have only two days left if they want to sign players in the special transfer window that opened early ahead of the competition.

This means that, if Gyokeres wants to get a move done quickly, he will need to decide which club he wants to move to in the coming days.

If not, the Sweden international will have to wait until the summer transfer window opens fully on June 16 to secure a transfer to any of the numerous clubs hoping to sign him this summer.

And, according to a report from journalist Santi Aouna, Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal have now emerged as a potential candidate for Gyokeres' signature.

Aouna claims that the Saudi side are in the market for a new striker this summer, and Gyokeres is one of the top names on their shortlist.

Although it is not yet known exactly what Al Hilal are prepared to offer Gyokeres, it is almost certain that they he will be faced with the potential to earn considerably more than any other club linked with him.

As it stands, the club's highest earner is former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly who, according to Capology, is currently earning a stunning £562,260 a week.

However, Gyokeres isn't the only big name that the Saudi giants have reportedly contacted this summer, as Aouna claims that Victor Osimhen, Darwin Nunez, Luis Díaz, Jadon Sancho and Heung-min Son are all also a part of their shortlist.
