Viktor Gyokeres agent 'to attend Arsenal vs Real Madrid' amid transfer talk

Viktor Gyokeres' agent is expected to be in attendance at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday as Arsenal take on Real Madrid in the Champions League, according to reports.

The Sporting striker is understood to be a key transfer target for the Gunners this summer as the club look to sign an elite striker, having failed with a bid of £40million for Ollie Watkins in January.

Arsenal's new sporting director, Andrea Berta, has reportedly put Gyokeres at the top of his striker wishlist, and Sporting manager Rui Borges recently hinted at an exit for his star player.

According to FootballTransfers, Gyokeres' representative is due to attend the huge quarter-final first-leg clash on Tuesday night.

The report does not name who the representative is, but Hasan Cetinkaya is Gyokeres' agent and is understood to not represent any Arsenal or Real Madrid players.

Gyokeres is expected to be at the centre of a huge transfer tussel this summer and Berta will be keen to make a success of his first transfer window with the Gunners.

Newcastle's Alexander Isak is considered Arsenal's dream striker signing but Gyokeres is expected to cost considerably less.

The Times recently reported that Gyokeres could be available for between £55million and £70m, less than half what Newcastle are believed to want for Isak.
