Last Monday, September 22, Viktor Gyokeres was named the best scorer at the France Football gala, receiving the Gerd Müller Trophy, where the Ballon d'Or winner was also announced. When he took the stage, the Swedish international received the award from Luís Figo and ended up leaving a thank you message to Sporting.
"First of all, I want to thank you for being here and of course, everyone at Sporting who was with me last season. We had a great season. We won the League and the Cup. We created incredible memories together," he began by saying.
"Being here is a fantastic feeling. I've always been hungry for goals, since I was a kid. I would like to thank my family and friends for always being by my side, in all the less positive moments of my career. I started a new chapter in my career at Arsenal and I also hope to build good memories at the club," he emphasized.
In a season where he became a two-time champion and achieved the double, Viktor Gyokeres had impressive numbers. In total, a pivotal player for Sporting's first two-time championship in the last 70 years, he reached 63 goals scored and 17 assists in 58 games for Sporting.
This season, wearing the Arsenal jersey, Viktor Gyokeres - valued at 75 million euros - played a total of five matches. Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the former Sporting forward played 373 minutes, in which he scored three goals.
