Gyokeres wins award, sends message to Sporting fans | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres was chosen this Wednesday, September 10th, as the best player of the Primeira Liga for the 2024/25 season at the Liga Portugal Awards gala, which recognizes the best participants of the past season. The now Arsenal player thanked the support of the Sporting fans throughout the season.

"I want to say that I am very honored to receive this fantastic award. Unfortunately, I cannot be there in person, but I would like to thank the players, staff, everyone at the club, and the Sporting fans who made this possible during the season. It was an unforgettable season, we won the League and the Cup. Thank you to everyone and congratulations to all the other nominees and winners. Thank you to those who voted for me," he said.

No one went up on stage to receive the award, and it was announced that it will later be delivered to the Swedish striker. The pre-recorded video message ends with Viktor Gyokeres speaking Portuguese: "Adoro-vos a todos" ("I love you all"), said the Swede.

In a season in which he became a two-time champion and achieved the double, Viktor Gyokeres had impressive numbers. In the league, he was crucial for Sporting's first back-to-back championship in the last 70 years, with 39 goals scored and eight assists. Thus, and for the second consecutive season, he was considered the best player in the Portuguese League.
