Sporting continue to benefit financially from Viktor Gyökeres’ performances at Arsenal. After already pocketing €1 million thanks to the London side’s direct qualification for next season’s Champions League, the Lions have now secured another €1.25 million.

This new bonus was triggered on Wednesday after the Swedish striker completed another 45 minutes in the European competition against Atlético Madrid, thus reaching the mark of 40 matches with at least 45 minutes played this season.

It should be recalled that Gyökeres was transferred to Arsenal for around €65.764 million fixed, with the possibility of a further €10.2 million in add-ons based on objectives. So far, Sporting have already secured around €4 million in variables, as a result of the Swedish international’s performances in England.

As for the match itself, Arsenal ended up drawing 1-1 with Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. The gunners’ only goal was scored by the former Sporting striker from the penalty spot, who has already set the tone for the next meeting.

This season, wearing the Arsenal shirt, Viktor Gyökeres – valued at €65 million – has made 49 appearances: 32 in the Premier League, 11 in the Champions League, four in the EFL Cup and two in the FA Cup. In the 3,158 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Swedish centre-forward has scored 19 goals and provided three assists.
