Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim has rubbished speculation the club will sell striker Viktor Gyokeres.

The Portuguese giants signed Gyokeres from Coventry City in the summer, and he has been a revelation.

Record in Portugal did state that the Blues had put in a €85 million bid for the 25-year-old.

“I don't know, I didn't even ask [director of football Hugo Hugo] Viana," Amorim admitted.

“Obviously, I was informed of the news. As soon as they said it was €85m, I thought: 'that's not enough'. It's only €100m. I'm not worried."
