According to the Portuguese outlet A Bola, Sporting CP's striker has a list of clubs he would prefer to sign for, and Liverpool feature on that list, but the Gunners are leading the race for the forward at present. It was previously claimed that Gyokeres would be allowed to leave Sporting if a set valuation was met.

Gyokeres' agent Hasan Cetinkaya believes Sporting made a gentleman's agreement that the forward could leave the club for £59m, after he rejected transfer interest last summer. He has an £85m release clause but the Portuguese club were said to have agreed for him to depart for much less.
