Sporting seems to show no signs of missing Viktor Gyokeres. After the Swedish striker left Sporting and became a reinforcement for Arsenal, the Alvalade Club is having its second highest scoring start to the season since the turn of the 21st century.

After the three goals scored in the victory over Moreirense last Monday, September 22, the team led by Rui Borges has already scored 15 goals in the first six rounds, only behind last season's record, with 22, with the green and white pupils being led by Ruben Amorim.

Thus, the current season's Sporting is in second place in the table, surpassing the records of Leonardo Jardim in 2013/14, Jorge Jesus in 2017/18, or even Ruben Amorim himself in 2020/21, in what was the first full season of the Manchester United coach, in charge of the lions.

It's worth remembering one of the major contributions to the scoring vein for Ruben Amorim's pupils, in 2024/25, was the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in the attack. Of those 22, the Swede scored 11, Pote and Francisco Trincão with three and Marcus Edwards, Daniel Bragança, Conrad Harder, Geny Catamo and an own goal made up the rest.

In this new season, wearing the Arsenal shirt, Viktor Gyokeres - valued at 75 million euros - played a total of six matches. Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the former Sporting forward played 463 minutes, in which he scored three goals.
