Potential Absence of Arsenal Player in Upcoming Premier League Matches Due to Ongoing Swedish Legal Action, Claims Report
Viktor Gyökeres, Arsenal's main striker since last season due to an injury crisis in attack, may miss game time for the Gunners due to a defamation trial in Sweden next year. According to reports from The Mirror, Gyökeres has agreed to give evidence in the trial.
Gyökeres, who made a big money move from Sporting Clube de Portugal to Arsenal this summer, has started each of Arsenal's three games this season and has scored two goals in the Premier League. His absence could be a significant blow for Mikel Arteta's squad, especially considering the team's recent 1-0 loss against Liverpool at Anfield, a game billed as an early title decider.
The information about Gyökeres' potential unavailability comes amidst a lawsuit filed by Gyökeres' agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, against two Swedish publications, Fotboll Sthlm and Expressen. The lawsuit stems from allegations that Cetinkaya and his agency have ties to criminal gangs. Cetinkaya, however, has denied these allegations.
Meanwhile, Gyökeres himself is not accused of any crimes. In fact, he is ranked at no.8 on a list of the best strikers in the world right now, according to an unspecified website.
Arsenal, who spent over £260 million on new talent this summer, are set to face Nottingham Forest in their next game. After that, they will play their Champions League curtain raiser away to Athletic Bilbao. Gyökeres' agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, has confirmed that Gyökeres will take to the stand if required in the defamation trial.
As the season progresses, Gyökeres' availability will be closely watched by Arsenal fans and the football community at large. His contributions to the team have been crucial, and his potential absence could impact the team's performance in the coming weeks. The lawyer in the case has yet to confirm whether Gyökeres will be summoned or obligated to give testimony as a witness in the trial.
