Viktor Gyokeres is now an Arsenal player and is set to face former club Sporting CP in the Champions League quarter-finals. The background in your pasted item is outdated on that point, because Arsenal completed his signing in July 2025. Reports confirmed Arsenal signed Gyokeres on a five-year deal after his prolific spell at Sporting. So the relevant current story is not Sporting replacing him, but Gyokeres returning to face them as an Arsenal forward.

Saha praised Gyokeres’ early impact since joining from Sporting but argued the striker has “had it easy in some ways,” insisting he still must prove himself in the most pressurised moments and become the true finishing piece of Arteta’s title-chasing puzzle.

Arsenal
November 2025

Arsenal are prepared to consider offers for Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri and Ben White as they look to balance accounts and manage squad size after major outlay on Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi helped power them to the top of the Premier League. Martinelli has lost his starting role to Leandro Trossard and may attract Saudi bids, while Jesus is recovering from an ACL injury and has slipped behind Kai Havertz and Gyokeres in the pecking order. Nwaneri could leave on loan for regular minutes and the club are open to serious proposals for White.
