Viktor Gyokees claimed in November that Gabriel Magalhaes has stolen his trademark target celebration, while the sporty CP star completes Arsenal after completing a mega money movement to the Premier League with Arsenal
Viktor Gyokers showed how relaxed and light -hearted he can be when he claimed that Gabriel Magalhaes stole his celebration last year. Arsenal ran 5-1 winners on Sporting CP during a Champions League collision in November, where Gabriel found the back of the net in stop time when the first half ended.
Declan Rice hit the ball in the box from a corner when Gabriel met him in the air with cruelty to nod home before he was in the party and covered his face with his connected hands. While Gyokees is known for a similar party, in which he covers his mouth with his hands, Gabriel chose to cover his own eyes, apparently nodding at the characteristic commemoration of the Star Striker with a turn.
However, Gyokeres did not seem to be too phased by Gabriel's Showmanship after the luminaire, and told Vrapy: “Gabriel's celebration? He is welcome to steal it if he can't create his own party! I didn't know he did that, but it's nice that he likes my party.”
According to reports, Gabriel opted for the celebration as a payback time for Pedro Goncalves who mimic Granit Xhaka's patented movement of choice during a Europa League -Penalty shootout between Arsenal and in 2023.
The lack of a response from Gyokees to the celebration shows how sober and easy he can be, despite recent criticism to insist on moving to Arsenal this summer. For the context, he refused to appear for training for the season with De Leoes, while he promised never to play for his current club again.
With 39 goals and eight assists that contribute to the League Portugal title of Sporting last season, the 27-year-old striker has become a top objective under Premier League clubs as recently. The Swede was initially sought by both Manchester United and Arsenal when the summer window opened, but was quickly giving the Gunners, who are currently in urgent need for an out-and-out no. 9.
Mikel Arteta was forced to use improvised tactics for large parts of 2024/25 after Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz were sidelined by injury, with midfielder Mikel Merino even enjoying a cameo -up top. Determined in order not to undergo a repeated situation from left without a rush in 2025/26, Arsenal has been heavily linked in recent weeks to securing the services of Gyokeres.
And it seems that the Gunners are now about to finally close a deal with Sporting about their Talisman, with reports that suggest that the two clubs have agreed a £ 63.8 million movement. It is said that Arsenal will pay an initial £ 55.1 million as a guaranteed compensation, as well as £ 8.7 million in add-ons for Gyokeres, who is expected to complete a medical medical in North London.
If successful, Gyokees is expected to fly outside to join the Gunners during their pre-season tour through Singapore and Hong Kong. Arsenal started their preparations for the season on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over AC Milan in Singapore National Stadium, Starman Bukayo Saka made the difference in the 53rd minute.
Arteta's team will now prepare for an exciting meeting with Newcastle United, who has traveled without Alexander Isak in the midst of speculation that connects him with a move to Liverpool, on the same land on Sunday. The North London side will then travel to the Kai Tak Sports Park to be against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, before he returns to the Emirates Stadium to adopt Villarreal on August 6.
Arsenal will then accept three days later in the final of the Emirates Cup Athletic Club before they focus their attention on Manchester United on 17 August while starting their Premier League campaign 2025/26.
