With two goals in his first three Premier League appearances, the Swedish striker has quickly become a central figure in Mikel Arteta’s attacking setup. ..Continue Reading
However, just as fans were beginning to celebrate his impact, unexpected news has surfaced that could see Gyokeres miss crucial fixtures in 2026—not due to injury or suspension, but because of a legal obligation in his home country.
Gyokeres has been called to testify as a witness in a defamation case in Sweden involving his agent, Hasan Cetinkaya.
The lawsuit, filed against two Swedish media outlets—Fotboll Sthlm and Expressen—centers on allegations that Cetinkaya and his agency, HCM Sports Management, have ties to criminal organizations. Cetinkaya has strongly denied the claims and is pursuing legal action to clear his name.
While Gyokeres himself is not accused of any wrongdoing, court documents confirm that he has agreed to appear in court if required.
This development could potentially interfere with his availability for Arsenal, depending on the timing and duration of the proceedings.
The case has already drawn attention due to its connection to a shooting incident in Stockholm’s Huddinge suburb, where gunfire was directed at a residence linked to one of Cetinkaya’s relatives.
For Arsenal, the timing couldn’t be worse. With ambitions to challenge for major trophies and a packed fixture list ahead, losing their lead striker even temporarily, could disrupt momentum.
Gyokeres was brought in to fill a void left by injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz last season, and his absence would force Arteta to reshuffle his frontline once again.
While it remains unclear how long Gyokeres might be away, Arsenal fans will be hoping the legal process is swift and that their new star can return to the pitch without delay. In the meantime, the club may need to prepare contingency plans to ensure their title push doesn’t lose steam.
