Viktor Gyokeres' former manager gives honest verdict on £63.7m Arsenal transfer

Sweden international striker traded Sporting CP for Arsenal this summer in one of the most expensive transfer deals of the window and the Portuguese club's manager has spoken Sporting manager Rui Borges says the club will "always be grateful" to Viktor Gyokeres after the striker's departure. Gyokeres, who fired Sporting to back-to-back titles, moved to Arsenal in a £63.7million switch after a summer of negotiations. ‌ Gyokeres had never scored a top-flight goal when he joined Sporting from Coventry in 2023. However, in two years in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, he netted 68 times in just 66 appearances. ‌ Sporting have already identified the Swede's successor, bringing in former Watford striker Luis Suarez. Borges has praised the Colombian, an arrival from Almeria, but was keen to recognise the contribution of the man who has moved on. ‌ "He's a player who defined an era at Sporting and in Portuguese football, but unfortunately, he's gone," Borges told Sport TV (via Goal) in his first comments about Gyokeres since the player's exit. "He was important in the last two seasons at Sporting, and we'll always be very grateful, but we're already in a different phase. "We'll reinvent ourselves with what we have and with the new players to remain strong. Great players have passed through Sporting; everyone comes and goes, but the club retains its greatness and demands. We're already looking at a different path, with a different way of being and thinking, always striving to be competitive and victorious." Colombia international Suarez, like Gyokeres, moves to Lisbon after a hot season in a second-tier league. He bagged 27 goals in 41 games for Almeria last term, helping his team reach the promotion play-offs where they lost to Oviedo in the semi-finals. The striker spent three years on Watford's books without ever making a senior appearance. A 19-goal season on loan at Zaragoza earned him a move to La Liga side Granada, though, while he also had a short stint in France with Marseille. Gyokeres, meanwhile, could make his first competitive Arsenal appearance against his former Sporting manager Ruben Amorim. The Gunners kick off their Premier League campaign against Amorim's Manchester United, though both teams have pre-season games to come before then. ‌ "I always want to score,' the striker said upon signing for Arsenal. 'To be a part of this club and to score in this kit and with this badge in front of all the supporters, I can't wait. It will be an amazing feeling. "I started here [in England], it feels like a long time ago. I think I've improved a lot since then. Now I want to prove myself for real and perform together with the team."

A Master of Surrealist Fiction and a Bard for Anxious Times

Roving Eye is the Book Review's essay series on international writers of the past whose works warrant a fresh look, often in light of reissued, updated or newly translated editions of their books. The Italian writer Dino Buzzati (1906-72) sneaked up on me. I like to think of myself as a completist when it comes to the 20th century's international masters of fantastical and surrealist literature, from Julio Cortázar to Kobo Abe to Anna Kavan, yet despite the acclaim from his publishers and translators, the endorsements from Borges and J.M. Coetzee, and a name that makes him sound like a glam-rock guitar hero, I'd missed Buzzati until now. (Completists rarely get there.) I may not be alone in this. American literary culture often seems to make room for precisely one famous writer in a given language at a time — say, Luigi Pirandello, Alberto Moravia, Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco and Elena Ferrante, among Italians — while others, prominent in their native countries, never find a turn in the spotlight. So much, of course, depends on publishing circumstance. Buzzati hasn't been without advocates in the English language. His 1940 novel 'Il Deserto dei Tartari,' translated into English by Stuart C. Hood and published as 'The Tartar Steppe,' was reviewed in major publications and has remained in print in Britain. In the 1980s North Point Press presented handsome collections of his stories, selected and translated by Lawrence Venuti. Still, until recently, the view of Buzzati in English was a fragmented, almost teasing one. The U.S. publication of Buzzati's work is now in the deft hands of New York Review Books, which has corralled five titles for its Classics series. These include three novels — 'The Singularity' (1960), 'A Love Affair' (1963) and 'The Tartar Steppe,' which was recently retranslated under the title 'The Stronghold' — as well as 'Poem Strip' (1969), a graphic novel that will be reissued in the fall. Earlier this year, Venuti continued his curation of Buzzati's short fiction with THE BEWITCHED BOURGEOIS: Fifty Stories (NYRB Classics, 328 pp., paperback, $19.95), a chronological survey culled from the hundreds of stories published in the author's lifetime. Our view of him may still be partial: Buzzati's life's work includes children's books, poetry, travel writing and journalism, and his jazzy drawings provide cover art for all five NYRB volumes. But these books form an extraordinary opportunity for Anglophone readers to take a leap into his unusual mind and have a look around. Start with 'The Stronghold.' That's a recommendation. The story of an Italian Army officer who has been assigned to a mysterious mountain fortress at which nothing, precisely, ever occurs, Buzzati's third novel is a book at once consummate — an unrepeatable performance — and typical of the tone and temper, the anxious, distractible mournfulness, of all of Buzzati's subsequent work.

Forge FC eliminate CF Montreal from Canadian Championship for second consecutive year

Forge FC eliminate CF Montreal from Canadian Championship for second consecutive year

MONTREAL - Tristan Borges and Kyle Bekker scored three minutes apart to lift Hamilton's Forge past CF Montreal on Wednesday with an aggregate score of 3-2 in the quarterfinal of the Canadian Championship. Forge has now eliminated Montreal in the club tournament's quarterfinals in back-to-back seasons. Prince Owusu scored a brace for Montreal of Major League Soccer in the 58th minute and again five minutes into injury time. Borges tied it in the 79th minute and Bekker gave Forge, representing the Canadian Premier League, a 2-1 lead in the 82nd minute. Entering the game trailing 1-0 on aggregate, Montreal started with aggressive pressure and maintained possession for most of the game. Bombarding the Forge goal and forcing them to drop into a low block, Montreal would need to win by two goals to advance without a penalty shootout, despite having only scored two or more goals at Stade Saputo just once this year. Montreal's first big chance came just after the 15-minute mark when a free kick from Dante Sealy was mishandled by Forge keeper Jassem Koleilat. Just four minutes later, Joel Waterman appeared to have been brought down in the area, but the ref deemed it not worthy of a penalty. Montreal's control over the tempo of play continued through the first half, but they could not manage to find the final ball needed to open the scoring. CF Montreal continued the pressure in the opening minutes of the second half, but after less than five minutes, the stadium lost power. After a 20-minute delay, play resumed. Sealy received the ball from a turnover and played in Owusu, who needed two attempts before finding the back of the net. Montreal continued to press in the ensuing minutes, looking ot take an aggregate lead in the tie, but were denied on several occasions by excellent saves from Koleilat. As the game progressed, Forge was able to find their footing and create some offence. Three minutes apart, Borges and Bekker would find the back of the net in similar fashion after unloading shots from the same spot outside the penalty area. With nothing left to lose, Montreal threw more bodies forward in an effort to get back into the tie. Owusu added a second, but there was too little time for another. UP NEXT Montreal: Will travel to Orlando City FC on Saturday. Forge: Will match up with Atletico Ottawa on the road on Saturday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 9, 2025.
