How is it "excessive" when he is literally entering his prime? We need an experienced striker in his prime and Gyokeres meets that player profile. We already tried with younger strikers and it's been a complete disaster.
All of our younger players have been utter sheite bar Yoro. Buying younger players only makes sense if they are generational talents or whatnot. Buying proven and "experienced" players in their prime like Cunha, Mbuemo and Gyokeres makes much more sense than forcing the likes of Holjund, Zirkzee, Garnacho (overhyped and mid "young" players with already a lot of experience).
He has almost no experience at the top level. His last four seasons have been in the English Championship and the Portuguese league, which is mid tier by European standards.
It would be a huge risk for us, I'd much rather go for Watkins or Mateta.
