Viktor Gyökeres gives up both money and affection for Arsenal

Viktor Gyökeres is making bold decisions to leave Portugal in order to join Arsenal this summer. It has been reported that the Swedish striker, who is nearing a Premier League transfer from Sporting CP, has split from his partner, Portuguese actress Ines Aguiar.

TV Guia claims that Viktor Gyökeres made the decision because he didn’t want to establish any emotional connections to Lisbon that would make his leaving more difficult or take longer.

Gyökeres has already taken audacious measures to make the transfer possible, such as declining to resume training and forgoing €2 million in personal income to assist Arsenal in raising their offer to Sporting. This most recent personal action demonstrates his resolve to rejoin the Gunners and resume his career in England.
