Who is Viktor Gyokeres? Sporting Lisbon’s goal-scoring sensation who has outscored Haaland, Lewandowski and Kane

The Hindu  

Viktor Gyokeres is the Swedish striker whose explosive goal-scoring has made him one of the hottest properties in Europe and could see him become soccer’s next $100 million-plus player. “He is ready for something bigger,” Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson told broadcaster Viaplay ahead of Gyokeres’ hat trick against Manchester City in the Champions League last week. FILE PHOTO: Proving he can score consistently at an even higher level will be the next challenge if Gyokeres follows in the footsteps of other top Swedish strikers like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson and moves to one of Europe’s leading clubs. “I don’t think it’s wrong to be the king of Portugal and score like 35-40 goals per year and be able to play in the Champions League every year and win the title.” Proving he can score consistently at an even higher level will be the next challenge if Gyokeres follows in the footsteps of other top Swedish strikers like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson and moves to one of Europe’s leading clubs.
