Arsenal supporters point to Viktor Gyokeres’ renewed relationship with Portuguese actress Ines Aguiar as the key factor behind the striker’s impressive turnaround at the Emirates.
Early Struggles After Big-Money Move
The 27-year-old Swedish forward, who joined Arsenal for £64 million last summer, faced a rocky start. He ended his romance with Aguiar before departing Sporting Lisbon, aiming to sever ties with Portugal amid his career shift. Initial performances drew scrutiny from fans and analysts alike.
Resurgent Form in Title Chase
Gyokeres now thrives as a core element in Mikel Arteta’s frontline. Arsenal pursues a historic double, with both Premier League and Champions League hopes intact. Since early March, he has netted six goals across 12 outings.
Fans Link Revival to Personal Life
Supporters credit his reunion with Aguiar. She shared an Instagram story from Mansfield during Arsenal’s FA Cup clash on March 7, signaling their reconciliation. Aguiar attended the Gunners’ 3-0 victory over Fulham last weekend, where Gyokeres scored twice.
Reports confirm the couple, who dated for two years at Sporting, paused their relationship to prioritize his career. With Gyokeres settled in London, they have reconnected. Aguiar, recently cast in a new Portuguese TV series, eyes a London property purchase.
Defining Fixtures on Horizon
Gyokeres targets impact in Arsenal’s season finale. Premier League tests include West Ham on Sunday, Burnley at home on May 18, and Crystal Palace away on May 24. Victories secure the club’s first title in 22 years. On May 30, they face PSG in Budapest for a first-ever Champions League crown.
