On Sunday night, Swedish time, Viktor Gyökere's signature goal gesture made its debut in the NBA, showcased by none other than Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the league's top talents. In a competitive match, the Milwaukee Bucks triumphed over the Charlotte Hornets, with the 29-year-old Greek star — often regarded as Europe's greatest basketball player — clinching the victory with two crucial free throws in the closing moments.
The origins of Viktor Gyökeres' unique celebration style remain somewhat of a mystery. While the Swedish Sporting striker has chosen to keep the details private, there has been encouraging speculation linking it to the iconic Batman character, "Bane." Gyökeres himself has given subtle hints that suggest this connection.

Ruben Amorim to bring Gyokeres to Manchester United
A recent update from The Mirror highlights that Amorim has identified an area for improvement within the squad he has inherited. Recognizing the need for enhanced offensive capabilities, he has reportedly pinpointed his top transfer target for the upcoming summer. Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has netted 67 goals in 69 matches for the club, is the player Amorim sees as the key to changing the fortunes of the Red Devils.
A monumental showdown against Man City is on the horizon, as reports reveal that incoming City sporting director, Hugo Viana, is eager to bring Gyokeres on board. Viana, who played a crucial role in signing Gyokeres for Sporting in 2023, is set to take over from Txiki Begiristain at the end of the season. Both he and Amorim maintain a strong connection with the talented footballer.
Update from Fabrizio Romano
Famous football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano took to his X to inform the fans about the potential transfer of Viktor Gyokeres to Manchester United.
“The feeling at Sporting is that Viktor Gyokeres can complete the season at the club and then decide his future destination in summer 2025. For sure, we expect Viktor Gyokeres to leave Sporting in 2025, should be in the summer, so this is the idea.”
