Gyokeres played for both Brighton and Coventry before leaving England for Sporting three years ago.

Coventry originally had a 15 per cent sell-on clause, but it is today 10 per cent after they sold part of it back to Sporting.

Brighton hold a 15 per cent sell-on clause of their own.

At €73.5m, Coventry will be due €7.3m and Brighton should be paid €10m.
