Biography

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 began his professional career with 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 Gyökeres 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 twice 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 in a transfer worth €63.5 million (£54.8 million), winning the Premier League title in his first season as the club's top scorer.

Gyökeres represented Sweden at under-19 and under-21 levels. He made his first appearance for the senior team in January 2019, and was part of the squads for UEFA Euro 2020 and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
