As much as the expectations were high, the disappointment was also great. Victor Jockeres has been criticised on his Arsenal debut.

British media The Bootroom reported on the 19th (Korean time) 'Portugal media honestly evaluated Jockeres' debut match at Arsenal'

Joquez started the opening match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season against Manchester United at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 18th. Expectations were high. He left Sporting (Portugal) to join Arsenal ahead of this season. According to the British media BBC, his transfer fee is up to 73 million euros. Jockeres started his professional career with Sweden IF Bromapoykarna after playing for the youth team. In January 2018, he moved to Brighton (England). Since then, he has been on loan with Jean-Cette Pauli (Germany), Swansea City and Coventry City (England). In 2021, he fully moved to Coventry and began to show his presence. Since moving to Sporting in July 2023, he has scored 97 goals in 102 official games over two seasons. He also scored 15 goals in 26 appearances for Sweden.

I couldn't be full at the first drink. Jockeres started and played 60 minutes. There was no noticeable scene. After the game, Footmob, a statistics company specializing in soccer, gave him a 6.0 rating. It was the lowest point in the Arsenal selection.

Citing a report by Portuguese media Avola, The Bootroom raised doubts about whether Jockeres could handle EPL football. He can no longer rely solely on physicality.

According to the outlet, the physical prowess of the `Jokeres among professionals will not be sufficient. Almost every defender in the EPL is incomparable to the Portuguese league. In the Portuguese league, Joquez's physical superiority was absurd. Of course he took advantage of it. Jockeres would have been disappointed. It's a team with a different play than Sporting, who played almost entirely for themselves. Still, it didn't look good at all. He spent over a month without training. As a result, the rhythm seemed to be lacking and heavy", "Patience is needed." There was a back reaction.
