The Sweden international has been linked with a move away from Coventry for a while now and was heavily-linked with Burnley in the summer - a move that could still reportedly happen when the transfer window reopens. The Clarets are still thought to be interested in the 24-year-old and could offer him Premier League football when their promotion to the top-flight is sealed.

Elsewhere, West Ham have also been credited with an interest as David Moyes looks to bolster his attacking options after a poor season in the league. Leeds United have also been linked for Gyokeres who managed two goals and one assist against Sunderland this season.

Chiedozie Ogbene has admitted he wants to take his career to the ‘next level’ amid speculation his time at Rotherham could be coming to an end. Ogbene has entered the final few months of his contract at the club and, speaking after Ireland’s clash with France, the 25-year-old said: “I've always said I want to go to the next level. Sometimes you don't play well and you start doubting yourself.

“But when I can put performances in like this, it gives me the belief that maybe I can be effective at the next level and that's my dream and so it keeps my dream alive.”
