City for Sporting CP last July.<\/p>\n<p>He was the Primeira Liga\u2019s top scorer with 29 goals from an xG of 22.71, having managed more shots on target than any other player in the division (58).<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old is a creator, too \u2014 registering 10 league assists across the campaign, while conjuring a significant 54 chances and 11 big chances for his team-mates.<\/p>\n<p>As if that wasn\u2019t enough, Gyokeres ranked inside the competition\u2019s top three players for take-ons attempted (147) and completed (68), and won possession more times in the attacking third than anyone else in Portugal\u2019s top flight (43).<\/p>\n<p>The only question is whether Sporting\u2019s No.9 has the ability to replicate that sensational output at Premier League level.<\/p>\n<p><img
