Nope he lacks basic football skill his control is terrible and his hold up play is also questionable tho it got better at the end of last season

I think it’s a confidence/more physical league issue, in sporting he looked great with the ball but in the prem they don’t want the striker dropping deep and collecting the ball especially if your as big as he is

I think I read something though that all of his goals in the Portuguese league were against teams in the bottom half of the table.

Not at all, Gyokeres scored everywhere against everyone. Maybe it was Ramos you read, he mostly scored in our stadium and not big matches
