Viktor Gyökeres is expected to testify in a Swedish court in connection with a case involving his agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, who has taken legal action against two media outlets. The Arsenal striker has been asked to attend proceedings as a witness, with a date reportedly set for 2026.
Since Arsenal opened negotiations to sign him from Sporting Club, Gyökeres has attracted significant attention in his native Sweden. The transfer process was complicated further by an incident in which police intervened following the targeting of a relative of Cetinkaya. That individual had allegedly boasted about receiving a share of transfer-related funds, which subsequently led to criminal involvement.
Legal Case Against Media Outlets
During the course of the investigation, two Swedish media outlets published claims linking Cetinkaya to organised crime groups. Cetinkaya strongly denied the allegations and has since taken the matter to court in an attempt to clear his name. The ongoing proceedings are now reaching a critical stage, and Gyökeres has been called upon to support his agent by testifying.
According to The Daily Mail, the striker is expected to appear in court when summoned, with the case scheduled to be heard in 2026. His testimony is anticipated to form part of the wider defence, as Cetinkaya seeks to challenge the accusations made against him.
Gyökeres Focused on Football
The legal developments have placed Gyökeres in an uncomfortable spotlight, adding an element of negativity around his move to Arsenal. While these issues play out off the pitch, the forward’s primary task remains performing for his club.
Scoring goals consistently is likely to be the most effective way for Gyökeres to shift the narrative and reassert the focus on his contribution to Arsenal’s season. Supporters and management alike will be hoping that his performances on the field overshadow the distractions away from it.
For now, the Swedish striker must balance the demands of his footballing responsibilities with the obligation to appear as a witness in the legal process involving his agent.
