Amid growing speculation about his future, Viktor Gyökeres has been spotted in high spirits, enjoying time with legendary sprinter Usain Bolt.
The Sporting CP striker, heavily linked with a summer transfer to Arsenal, was photographed alongside the Jamaican icon at a wedding event in Stockholm.
The moment captured the pair striking Gyökeres’ now-famous “mask” goal celebration — a gesture that has become his trademark in Portuguese football.
The timing of the photo has sparked further intrigue, as it comes just days before Gyökeres is expected to report back to pre-season training with Sporting.
However, with negotiations between the Lisbon club and Arsenal reportedly at an advanced stage, many believe the Swedish striker could soon be headed to the Premier League.
Gyökeres, 26, enjoyed a sensational debut season in Portugal, scoring 43 goals in all competitions and helping lead Sporting to the Liga Portugal title.
His dynamic style, physical presence, and clinical finishing have made him a top target for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who are in search of a proven No. 9 to complement their attacking setup.
The striker’s relaxed demeanor in the presence of Bolt — a global sports figure known for his charisma and winning mentality — could be interpreted as a sign that Gyökeres is mentally ready for his next challenge. The two athletes appeared to share an easy camaraderie, highlighting Gyökeres’ growing profile beyond football circles.
Although no deal has yet been finalized, reports suggest Arsenal are prepared to meet Sporting’s valuation. The coming days will be crucial as both clubs work toward a resolution — but if his recent mood is anything to go by, Gyökeres is more than ready to sprint into the next chapter of his career.
