Sporting Lisbon have confirmed the details of Viktor Gyokeres’ sale from Coventry City, with the cost of the deal to the Portuguese club potentially reaching €26million.

The 25-year-old former Sky Blues star striker has already helped fire his new club to second place in the Portuguese top flight – where they are level on points with Benfica but below their rivals due to goal difference – with seven goals in his first ten Primeira Liga games (and nine in 13 in all competitions).

Sporting have communicated to the Securities Market Commission (CMVM) the values involved in their 2023 transfer market deals, with player entries and exits, including bonuses and commission values.
