Viktor Gyokeres has yet to provide an update on his future amid links to Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal.
For now, he's enjoying his latest success with his current club, Sporting Clube de Portugal. The Lions have had a historic season, winning the 'dobradinha' - the league and cup - for the first time in 23 years.
Gyokeres, who joined the Portuguese giants in the summer of 2023, has played a key role in Sporting’s success - scoring 97 goals in 102 appearances.
As a result, he has attracted attention from clubs across Europe ahead of the summer transfer window reopening on June 1. With all eyes on his next move, the 26-year-old took to Instagram to showcase his third piece of silverware with the green and whites.
Gyokeres posted a video walking down Portugal's Estadio Nacional do Jamor, carrying the cup on his shoulder and whistling. "Walk it like I talk it," he wrote.
When asked about his future after the cup, the striker said: "Let's see, it's football and we never know what might happen. To say something concrete is impossible.
"I don't know anything [about Arsenal's interest]. I tried to remain focussed in the last games. If anything is true, we'll see."
Meanwhile, Sporting boss Rui Borges is 'hopeful' the Swede stays in Lisbon. "I'm hopeful that he stays," he told ZeroZero.
"I hope he stays, he is still under contract. But if he does leave, he deserves that, he's given us a lot. He has an enormous attitude and is an example for all the whole team and I feel honoured to be his manager."
Despite interest from the Reds, the club’s chiefs are currently working on a deal for Matheus Cunha. Arsenal, on the other hand, remain long-term admirers of Gyokeres and are expected to make a move for him.
