After scoring twice in Arsenal's last game, Viktor Gyokeres received a special message from Pedro Gonçalves through social media. The Swedish striker who forced his exit from Sporting this summer was the key player in Arsenal's 5-0 thrashing of Leeds, making his debut by scoring for the Gunners with a double.
The new 'number 14' of the London club made a post on his official Instagram account sharing his feelings after the emphatic victory at the Emirates, which received a comment from his former teammate at Alvalade: “He comes from Sweden”.
Pedro Gonçalves' message is a direct reference to the Arsenal fans' chant dedicated to Viktor Gyokeres, which even mentions the end of his relationship with Inês Aguiar: “He comes from Sweden, the girls are very nice. He broke up with his girlfriend to play in red and white. He scores goals, with the cannon on his chest. His name is Viktor, Viktor Gyokeres”.
The truth is that, this past weekend, the former attacking duo from Sporting was in great form. He scored twice in the 5-0 victory over Leeds, while Pote was instrumental in Sporting's 4-1 win over Nacional. The 'number 8' of the Lions scored a hat-trick and also assisted Conrad Harder's goal.
After a brilliant season with the Lions, Viktor Gyokeres - valued at 75 million euros - has played two games for Arsenal, both in the Premier League. In the 150 minutes he has played wearing the Gunners' shirt, the Swede has already scored two goals.
