Gyokeres compares Sporting to Arsenal: it was tough (video) | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres compared the current title race with Arsenal to his experience over the last two seasons with Sporting. The Swedish forward revealed that winning the national championship twice was not a 'walk in the park'.

"In the last two years, I went through a very similar situation, in different aspects, where we fought for titles, and yes, it was difficult, at different stages of the season, and the rivals were close to us in the standings. Fortunately, we managed to finish in first place in both seasons I was at Sporting, which was obviously fantastic," he stated in an interview with DAZN.

The striker also highlighted that this experience now gives him greater peace of mind in the context of the Premier League. "Being in this position now with Arsenal is helping me have the conviction and enthusiasm to be here, at this moment, without fearing too much," he added.

It should be noted that Arsenal (which recently defeated Chelsea) currently leads the English championship with 64 points, five more than Manchester City, despite having played one more game. The margin was more comfortable, especially after recent draws against Brentford and Wolverhampton.

Wearing the Arsenal jersey, Viktor Gyokeres – valued at 70 million euros – has played 37 matches: 27 in the Premier League, six in the Champions League, three in the English League Cup, and one in the FA Cup. In the 2,420 minutes he was on the field, the Swedish striker scored 15 goals and made two assists.
