Sporting CP president Varandas cautions Premier League clubs regarding Gyokeres and Amorim

The Swede has been the subject of interest from Arsenal and PSG in recent months. However, Varandas has made it clear that the striker will not be moving in the January transfer window.

He told RTP3: "I would say that it is very, very, very difficult, impossible, it doesn't exist in life, now I would say that it is very, very, very difficult.

"He has already scored a lot, he continues to score... it would be very, very, very difficult, very difficult (to leave in January)."

Varandas also discussed claims coach Ruben Amorim could follow departing sporting director Hugo Viana to Manchester City next season.

He added: "When will we lose Rubén Amorim? If it's this year, if it's next year... I've been hearing this question for more than four years and I think this should be a source of pride for all Sporting fans, and also for all the media, who might wonder how one of the best coaches in the world has been at Sporting for five years, it's fantastic.

"The coach always plays in a structure where all the pieces are important, he is the most important piece in that structure, that's how I see it."
