“I really can’t stop crying… knowing fully well that what is happening to my son now is not ordinary,” revealed the father of Victor Gyokeres, opening up for the first time about the emotional turmoil surrounding the striker’s stalled move to Arsenal.
He explained how he tried to stay composed after receiving a phone call from Sporting Lisbon’s president yesterday — but couldn’t hold back the tears. The emotional scene has since gone viral, with fans flooding social media with support for the family.
Despite the heartbreak, he ended with a message of hope:
“Everything happens for a reason.”
The delay in the deal has now taken on a deeply personal tone, and the football world is watching closely to see how the saga unfolds.
