Viktor Gyokeres has an intriguing trademark celebration characterized by fingers interlocked and a mask-like gesture covering his mouth. This celebration has gained attention as he transferred from Sporting to Arsenal, leading fans to speculate its significance. Various clues emerged, including a photo of defender Riccardo Calafiori resembling the gesture. Gyokeres himself has played coy about its meaning, indicating enjoyment in keeping the interpretation open. His manager, Mark Robins, also declined to reveal its significance, further fueling the air of mystery around Gyokeres's celebration, which appears to serve dual purposes of entertainment and personal expression.
Every goalscorer needs a trademark celebration and the one Viktor Gyokeres has shown off over the past few years has certainly increased its reach of late—fingers interlocked, thumbs pushed up, a mask formed across his mouth and nose.
As Gyokeres's transfer from Sporting to Arsenal has edged along, fans of the London club became increasingly desperate for clues.
Gyokeres's manager at Coventry, Mark Robins, was once asked to explain it. 'I know what it means,' he said. 'Has he not told you? I won't be revealing it then.'
Plainly, he thrives on keeping people guessing, especially defenders, and the whole shemozzle advertises more than the twinkle he has in his eye; the innate charm as he embraces the theatrics of his career.
