"According to reports from Portuguese outlet O Jogo, the striker is on the verge of activating a specific performance-related clause that will see Arsenal transfer another €500,000 (£430,000) into Sporting CP's coffers. The agreement structured during his high-profile move to London is heavily based on tangible output, and his double against Spurs has brought a significant milestone within touching distance."
"For every block of 20 goal involvements Gyokeres achieves, the Lions are entitled to a windfall, and the 26-year-old is now knocking on that door. Gyokeres currently boasts 18 goal contributions this season, comprised of 15 goals and three assists across all competitions. With the magic number set at 20, the former Coventry City man needs just two more involvements to trigger the payment."
"This is not a one-off, either; the contract dictates that an additional €500,000 becomes due for every subsequent pack of 20 contributions he registers throughout his tenure. Sporting CP have carefully protected their interests through these staggered bonuses. When Gyokeres initially signed for a fixed fee of €63.5m (£54.6m), the deal included potential add-ons totalling €10m (£8.6m)."
Viktor Gyokeres scored twice in Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Tottenham, bringing his season tally to 18 goal contributions across all competitions. His performance is activating performance-related clauses in his transfer agreement with Sporting CP. The contract stipulates that Arsenal must pay €500,000 to Sporting CP for every 20 goal involvements Gyokeres achieves. Currently needing just two more contributions to trigger the first payment, this clause structure repeats throughout his tenure. Gyokeres' initial transfer fee was €63.5 million, with potential add-ons totaling €10 million, demonstrating Arsenal's significant investment in the Swedish striker's ability to replicate his Primeira Liga success in the Premier League.
