Gyokeres scores '2 more times', Arsenal immediately loses 15 billion

Viktor Gyokeres' impressive performance has propelled Arsenal upwards and moved the London team near activating a lucrative bonus clause in his transfer contract.

Arsenal faces additional payments to Sporting Lisbon as Viktor Gyokeres' excellent form continues to set new milestones. According to Portuguese media, just two more goal contributions from the Swedish striker will activate a £430,000 (over 15 billion VND) bonus clause in the transfer agreement between the two clubs.

Last weekend, Gyokeres played a key role in Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Tottenham by scoring twice, alongside Eberechi Eze, helping Arsenal solidify their lead in the Premier League. The North London derby was not only about points but also highlighted the increasing influence of the expensive new signing in Arsenal's attacking lineup.

These two recent goals have raised Gyokeres' total tally since the start of the year to eight across all competitions, the best record among Premier League players during the same period. His ability to maintain consistent form has quickly made him a key figure in Arsenal’s attacking system.

Over the entire season, the Swedish forward has been directly involved in 18 goals, including 15 goals scored and 3 assists. This marks a perfect start following a £63.5 million transfer, as he has rapidly adapted to English football and met the high expectations of the coaching staff.

According to Portugal’s O Jogo, the £430,000 bonus will be triggered once Gyokeres reaches 20 goal contributions. Notably, this clause does not stop there; it will continue to apply for every subsequent 20 contributions, meaning Arsenal may have to pay multiple times if his performance remains consistent.

Previously, Sporting Lisbon received a £1 million bonus after Gyokeres completed 20 matches with at least 45 minutes played each. This indicates the contract is structured around performance, allowing the Portuguese club to benefit financially whenever the striker shines.

With 18 matches remaining across all competitions this season, Gyokeres has a strong chance to further improve his personal stats. If Arsenal stays in the title race until the end, the amount they pay for this deal will almost certainly increase, accurately reflecting the value the Swedish striker is delivering on the pitch.
