Viktor Gyökeres

Viktor Einar Gyökeres (Swedish: [ˈvɪ̌kːtɔr ˈjø̂ːkɛrɛs]; born 4 June 1998) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Arsenal and the Sweden national team. Gyökeres made his professional debut with Swedish side Brommapojkarna in 2015, making over fifty appearances before joining Brighton & Hove Albion in 2018. He spent successive seasons on loan at St. Pauli, Swansea City, and Coventry City, joining the latter permanently in 2021. Sporting CP signed him in 2023 in a club-record transfer worth an initial €20 million. With them, he won two back-to-back Primeira Liga titles in 2024 and 2025, winning the Bola de Prata as the league's top scorer, the Player of the Year award in both seasons and the Gerd Müller Trophy, in his second season, given to the highest-scoring footballer in the previous season. In July 2025, he signed for Arsenal F . in a transfer worth €63 million (£54 million) and won the 2025–26 Premier League title. Gyökeres represented Sweden at various youth levels and was the joint-top scorer at the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. He made his senior debut in 2019.
