Sporting Teammates Press Swedish Striker About Future While Gunners Eye Summer Swoop
Viktor Gyokeres is keeping his cards close to his chest as speculation grows about a potential summer move to Arsenal, with the Sporting CP striker telling teammates he’s “not a fortune teller” when pressed about his future.
The Swedish international has emerged as one of Arsenal’s top striker targets after a sensational debut season in Portugal, where his 43 goals in all competitions fired Sporting to the Primeira Liga title. With the Gunners desperately seeking a clinical finisher after their Premier League title challenge faded without a fit senior striker, Gyokeres’ €100 million release clause may soon be tested.
Why Arsenal Want Gyokeres
- Striker crisis: Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz’s injuries left Arteta without options up front
- Proven quality: 36 goal contributions in 32 league games this season
- Winning mentality: Key to Sporting’s domestic dominance
Teammate Pedro Gonçalves revealed the dressing room banter about Gyokeres’ future, telling Canal 11: “We all ask him to stay. He just says he’s not a fortune teller… I get my updates from Fabrizio Romano like everyone else!” The comments came as Sporting prepare for Saturday’s Taça de Portugal final against Benfica – a match some reports suggest could be Gyokeres’ farewell.
While Arsenal fans anxiously await developments, the 25-year-old remains focused on completing a historic double with Sporting. *”It’s always a 50/50 game full of stress,”* Gyokeres said of the cup final. “But we’ll fight to give our fans this double they deserve.”
With the transfer window heating up, all eyes are on whether Arsenal will make their move once the final whistle blows in Lisbon. One thing’s certain – Gyokeres won’t be reading his own tea leaves anytime soon.
