During Viktor Gyökeres’s first year at Sporting CP, there was one particular story which fizzed around Portugal’s gossip columns.
Rumour had it that the Swedish striker lost a tennis match to his then-girlfriend Amanda Nildén, a professional footballer for Tottenham Hotspur herself, while on holiday. In a blinding fit of rage, Gyökeres supposedly threw a tantrum so bad that it ruined the rest of the trip.
