Lisbon, Portugal – Wetin we go hear today na wahala wey dey inside Sporting Clube de Portugal as their striker, Viktor Gyokeres, don decide say he no go show for pre-season training. Na wetin president Frederico Varandas talk o! Dis one don make the transfer matter wey dey between Arsenal and Sporting turn to Gbege.
According to Varandas, Gyokeres suppose come back for training on July 12, but he just waka go outside like say nothing dey happen. (E be like say dem no tell am say football no be small play). Dis man wey just hot scored 54 goals last season don cause drama wey no be small.
Now, Arsenal dey hussle to sign dis 27-year-old striker, but di deal no wan settle quick. Dem don offer about £69 million, but Sporting dey hold ground like say dem get gold for hand. Varandas talk say, ‘If dem no wan pay Viktor’s fair value, we go continue dey enjoy am for the next three years.’ (Abeg, who nor like cool cash?)
For those wey dey follow dis gist, Gyokeres don bulge plenty goals since e come Sporting, scoring 97 goals in 102 matches since e don join from Coventry. If you no sabi am, this guy don collect titles like say na sweet cake, helping Sporting win two league titles already.
As dem dey negotiate, we no go forget say Gyokeres don drop hint for interview say he wan move go England—we dey watch am like show. E don even talk say Premier League na the biggest league for Europe, so e get valid reason for di move wey e dey pursue.
Varandas talk say di whole matter fit still change if Arsenal fit come correct with their offer. He don throw some shade to people wey dey plan strategy on how to make him or di club feel pressure. He talk say, ‘No one is above di interest of the club. Whoever dem be.’ (Chai, dis man no dey play o!)
For now, Arsenal dey try to keep do am cool to avoid any wahala. If dem carry dis transfer matter go smooth, Gyokeres might finally get im wish and return to di Premier League. But for now, e be like say he go face disciplinary action for di club and dey look finish. Di market dey close but di chase don turn to di-hustle right now.
Make we keep our fingers crossed as e go happen sha. Dis transfer window don dey hot pass pepper soup!
