Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres has admitted he was aware of interest during the recent January transfer window but was completely committed to the Championship outfit.
Gyokeres, who has been capped 11 times by Sweden, has 13 goals for Mark Robins' side so far this term and was one of a handful of strikers linked with a mid-season switch to Goodison Park.
However, as Coventry City stood firm in an attempt to keep hold of their talisman, the Blues were unable to bring in a suitable replacement for Anthony Gordon, who departed Goodison Park to move to Newcastle United for an initial £45m.
