Gyokeres, managed to return to action with a bang. And with the start of the new league, he started again to send the ball into the opposing nets.

Viktor Gyokeres full striker of Sporting CP and top scorer in Portugal League.

Hungarian-born Swedish forward Viktor Einar Gyökeres finished last year's season in Portugal scoring 29 goals, which contributed significantly to his team Sporting's 20th Primeira Liga title. In fact, on the 5th of May, the day his team formally secured the title and while he scored a goal. Which made him the second Swedish footballer to win the Portuguese league top scorer title, after Mats Magnusson (1989-1999). And two days later; Gyokeres, underwent surgery on his left knee in Lisbon.


Despite this, Gyokeres (born June 4, 1998 - of Hungarian descent through his grandfather) managed to return to action with a bang. And with the start of the new league, he started again to send the ball into the opposing nets. In the impressive 0-5 win over Feirense, Gyokeres was the big star as he scored 3 goals, reaching 6 and leading the scoring race early on.


Sporting Lisbon continues from where it left off last season! Steady on top! Ruben Amorim's "Lions" have started the new season with... foot on the gas. And the 26-year-old (1m87) forward does his duty in the best way, while he has attracted many eyes from foreign clubs.


Gyökeres has also represented Sweden at various youth levels and was the top scorer at the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, before making his men's international debut in 2019.


Gyökeres made his senior debut with Swedish side Brommapojkarna in 2015, with whom he made over 50 appearances before signing for Brighton & Hove Albion three years later. Gyokeres, had been loaned out to a number of clubs, including St Pauli, Swansea City and Coventry City, joining the latter permanently in 2021. Sporting signed him in 2023 for a club-record transfer worth €20 million. And in his first season, he helped them win the league title and also won the Bola de Prata for top scorer in the Primeira Liga with 29 goals in 33 matches.
