Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres faces potential absence in key matches due to a court appearance over a defamation lawsuit filed by his agent.
In the world of football, the summer signing for Arsenal Football Club, Viktor Gyokeres, has found himself at the centre of a court case that could impact his future at the club.
Gyokeres, who joined Arsenal for £63.5million from Sporting, has been a valuable addition to the team, scoring two goals in three games. His impressive form was on display this week, as he picked up an assist in Sweden's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia, contributing to a 2-2 draw.
However, off the pitch, Gyokeres' agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, is taking a defamation case to Stockholm District Court. The case stems from claims made by two Swedish publications, Fotboll Sthlm and Expressen, that Cetinkaya and his agency, HCM Sports Management, have links to criminal gangs. Cetinkaya denies these allegations and has decided to take the matter to court.
Gyokeres himself has agreed to testify if called upon in the court case. The court date has not yet been set, and it remains unclear when Gyokeres might be called upon or what games he could miss.
The potential court appearances could potentially affect Gyokeres' availability for key Arsenal matches next year. It's worth noting that Gyokeres is currently under contract with Arsenal until 2027, and there have been rumours that he could be sold in January 2026 or the summer of 2026. Such a move could lead to potential gaps in Arsenal's attack.
Despite this uncertainty, Gyokeres is scheduled to appear in court in Sweden in 2026. The outcome of the case could have significant implications not only for Gyokeres' career but also for Arsenal Football Club.
As the situation unfolds, fans and football enthusiasts alike will be keeping a close eye on developments, hoping for a swift resolution that allows Gyokeres to focus fully on his football career and Arsenal to benefit from his talents on the pitch.
