As an agent, one of my primary responsibilities is to guide my clients through key career decisions, ensuring they find the right fit both professionally and personally. Recently, Viktor Gyökeres, my client, faced one of the most pivotal decisions of his career—where to continue his journey in football. Despite receiving offers from eight different clubs across Europe, Viktor chose to sign with Eintracht Frankfurt under the guidance of their head coach, Dino Toppmöller.
This was not a decision made lightly. Each of the offers on the table came from respected clubs, but Viktor felt a unique connection to the vision Toppmöller had for his game. The coach’s approach to football, his tactical understanding, and his emphasis on player development were qualities that strongly appealed to Viktor.
Eintracht Frankfurt, with its strong history in the Bundesliga and regular appearances in European competitions, offered a platform for Viktor to not only improve his game but also showcase his talents on a bigger stage. The club’s ambition to grow and challenge for both domestic and international titles aligned perfectly with Viktor’s own aspirations. It was clear that Toppmöller could provide the right environment for Viktor to take his career to the next level.
The decision to turn down the other offers wasn’t just about money or prestige—it was about trust in the direction of the team, the potential for growth, and the belief that Eintracht Frankfurt could help Viktor reach his fullest potential. It’s always a privilege to help a client make such an important choice, and I am confident that Viktor’s time at Eintracht Frankfurt will be a rewarding chapter in his career.
