Swansea City cast off with a 20 million price tag on his head
Viktor Gyökeres who found life extremely frustrating under Swansea City manager Steve Cooper has a twenty million pounds price tag on his head if the premier league clubs who want him are interested. Viktor Gyökeres played eleven championship games for the swans and one FA Cup tie when he scored in the 2-0 away win at Stevenage.
He was recalled a week later.
Since then a loan spell at Coventry City resulting in his transfer to the sky blues from Brighton for around a million pounds has produced a lot of goals. In seventy one games he has scored thirty two goals across the board. Since the interest in him by Wolves, Everton and Brentford the sky blues hierarchy have made it clear their twenty four year old, who scored against Swansea last week is valued at twenty million pounds. There is a sell on fee that will go to Brighton.
It’s easy to see why Gyökeres has found a home at Coventry City, he is wanted and very much involved around the first team, something he rarely experienced under Steve Cooper. He has returned that faith almost twenty fold with the price tag on his head tonight. Not bad business at all, and proof that no matter how well fans believe a manager has been for their club there’s always flaws.

Leeds crush Norwich to cruise through to play-off finalWith our recent form being what it was, I was expecting a nervy encounter, with Leeds struggling to get through the Norwich City defence, but how wrong I was! Suddenly we recovered the swagger we have shown for much of the season, and not a moment too soon.
Farke happy with the result after bore draw at NorwichMany neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.

Crisis, what Crisis?As Mark Twain might have said, rumours of the death of our promotion hopes have been greatly exaggerated. Last night’s win at Middlesbrough was a hard watch towards the end, but the vital three points has got our campaign back on track.
