Arsenal’s Gyökeres Agrees to Testify in Swedish Defamation Case Linked to His Agent

Proceedings are expected in 2026, with Gyökeres not accused of any offense.

Overview

  • Court paperwork and agent lawyer Joakim Lundqvist confirm Gyökeres has agreed to give evidence and may be called to the stand.
  • Agent Hasan Cetinkaya has filed a gross defamation suit against Fotboll Sthlm and Expressen over articles alleging ties to criminal gangs, which he denies.
  • The dispute was first taken to Sweden’s media ombudsman before being escalated to the Stockholm District Court.
  • Stockholm police are investigating August gunfire at the Huddinge home of a relative of one of Gyökeres’ representatives, with no injuries reported and warnings issued about violence risks around large transfers.
  • Reports indicate the case is scheduled for 2026, which could affect the striker’s availability, after his July move to Arsenal for about £63.7m and a start of two league goals in three matches.
