Viktor Gyökeres, born on 4 June 1998 (age 28), is a Sweden international striker with Arsenal. His current market value is around £64m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Sporting CP in 2024-2025, when he scored 39 goals in 33 appearances. That return was not subtle, and it set the tone for the move into a more demanding Arsenal role rather than presenting him as a striker needing much explanation.
In 2025-2026, Gyökeres has remained a regular first-team presence for Arsenal. He has made 36 Premier League appearances, scoring 14 goals, with a further one goal in two FA Cup games and five goals in 13 Champions League matches. Across all competitions for Arsenal, he has 20 goals in 51 appearances.
He has also stayed involved with Sweden, scoring once in one World Cup appearance and four times in six European World Cup qualifiers this season. His career at this stage is straightforward enough: a heavy-scoring spell at Sporting CP, followed by a prominent attacking role at Arsenal and continued international involvement with Sweden.
