Arsenal edge closer to unveiling Viktor Gyokeres as their marquee summer signing, and fans are already speculating on how the club might announce the Swedish striker. The £64m deal with Sporting CP is nearing completion, and excitement around his arrival is building.
Supporters are hoping for a creative reveal involving defender Gabriel Magalhaes. The Brazilian famously mimicked Gyokeres’ Bane-inspired mask celebration after scoring against Sporting in the Champions League last season.In a recent interview, Gabriel acknowledged the celebration and praised Gyokeres, saying: “Playing against him last year was a challenge. He is great and had a great season.”
Many believe this moment offers the perfect narrative for Gyokeres’ introduction. One popular suggestion is a video starting with Gabriel performing the mask pose, then revealing Gyokeres underneath — a playful nod to their previous encounter.
While nothing is confirmed yet, Arsenal’s media team are known for their creative announcements, and with the deal close, fans are eager to see if Gabriel will play a part in welcoming his new teammate.
