Former Super Eagles Midfielder, Mikel Obi has described Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyökeres as goal machine and urged Chelsea to move for him in the January transfer window.

Recall that the Swedish striker has become a force to reckon with, after grabbing a hat-trick in the team’s 4-1 win over Manchester City in Tuesday’s Champions League.

Speaking with The Obi One Podcast, the former Chelsea player stated that Gyokeres suits the style of the Premier League.

“Definitely. For me, he is a Premier League player, he’s a player that suits the Premier League. He has every attribute to be a Premier League player, strong, big, quick, and most importantly goalscoring.

“He can score goals and when you look at it, his goalscoing ratio is better than any striker right now in Europe, the stats are there to back it up.
