Manchester City are set to see a new face take up a big role at the club in the summer.

Specifically, it was reported during the October international break that City have agreed a deal to see Hugo Viana replace Txiki Begiristain as the club's sporting director.

Viana has been Sporting CP's director since 2018, but will now be taking on his new role at the Etihad Stadium officially over the summer.

In fact, the 41-year-old may not be the only figure from the Portuguese club to join the Blues in the summer, as some behind-the-scenes information has come to light regarding a player the Manchester club have been linked with recently.

He said: "Been told despite a release clause set at EUR100m, there is an agreement that Viktor Gyokeres can leave Sporting CP next summer for EUR60-70m.

"All of the teams are informed about the transfer agreement. 18 goals and 7 assists this season yet. Top striker."
