Viktor Gyokeres: The Sensation Who’s Taking the World of Football by Storm
In the realm of world football, there’s no denying the talent of Viktor Gyokeres right now. The 26-year-old Swedish striker, who joined Portuguese giants Sporting CP from Coventry last summer for a club-record €20 million, has been on an unbeatable roll. With 34 goals to his name across all competitions last season, including 29 in the Portuguese league, it’s no wonder Sporting earned the title after finishing 10 points ahead of nearest rivals Benfica. And it’s not just last season that’s telling – Gyokeres has already started this term with six goals in his first three league appearances.
EA Sports has taken notice too, giving him an unprecedented 84-rated card in the forthcoming FC 25. This incredible piece of artwork, leaked to the world, shows Gyokeres boasting staggering stats: 91 physical, 90 pace, 83 shooting, and a respectable 80 dribbling stat. Fans have gone wild about this prospect, with one social media user describing him as "the perfect starter ST for FC 25".
How did we get here, you ask? Well, back in FC 24, Gyokeres received a significant upgrade from 75 to 80 pace, with 72 shooting and 85 physical, plus 76 dribbling. This year, the Swede is setting the standard with his 86-rated card, scoring an astonishing number of goals in 2024, the most of any top league player.
So, no wonder there’s been buzz surrounding Gyokeres’s potential moves this summer. Arsenal have allegedly been linked to him, with reports stating they’ll shell out up to €120m (£100m) for his services. Would the Gunners be willing to stump up the cash for this star of the Sporting CP showpiece? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Viktor Gyokeres is here to stay, and you won’t want to miss his story unfolding.
