Born and raised in Stockholm, Gyökeres started playing football at the age of five with local club IFK Aspudden-Tellus.[4][5][6]

IF Brommapojkarna

Gyökeres signed for Brommapojkarna from IFK Aspudden-Tellus in 2013, at the age of 14.[7] He progressed through the youth teams and made his senior debut two years later.[8] He scored his first goals for the club on 20 August 2015, netting a brace in a 3–0 Svenska Cupen win over IF Sylvia.[8] The following year, with the club having suffered relegation the season before, Gyökeres scored seven goals to help Brommapojkarna secure promotion back into the Superettan.[9] He later helped Brommapojkarna into the semi-finals of the Svenska Cupen when he scored the winning goal in the quarter finals against top division side, Elfsborg.[10] Brommapojkarna were unable to progress further, though, as they were beaten 4–0 by IFK Norrköping in the next round.[11]

On 6 September 2017, having scored 10 league goals at the time, Gyökeres signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion with the deal to go through at the conclusion of the Superettan season.[12][13] He ended the season with a return of 13 goals in 29 league appearances, including a hat-trick on the final day as Brommapojkarna secured promotion to the Allsvenskan as league champions.[14][15][16]

He returned to Coventry City on a permanent deal on 9 July 2021, after signing a three-year contract.[32][33] Gyökeres scored in Coventry's opening game of the 2021–22 Championship season on 8 August, putting Coventry back level in an eventual 2–1 victory over Nottingham Forest in Coventry's first home game since April 2019 after ground sharing with Birmingham City.[34] Gyökeres scored 17 goals in 45 league appearances for Coventry in the 2021–22 season.[35]

In the 2022–23 Championship season, he was named as the player of the month in November after scoring four goals in four games, leading Coventry to four straight wins during that period.[36] Three goals and three assists saw him win the award for a second time in March 2023.[37]

Sporting CP

On 13 July 2023, Gyökeres signed a five-year contract with Primeira Liga side Sporting CP, who paid a club record transfer fee of €20 million (plus €4 million in bonuses) for him.[38][39] Coventry also reserved 10 to 15% from a future transfer, and the release clause was set at €100 million.[40]

On 5 May, Sporting mathematically secured their 20th Primeira Liga title, following Benfica's defeat to Famalicão,[52] and Gyökeres won the Bola de Prata award, after he finished his first season at the club as the Primeira Liga Top scorer with 29 goals, scoring a brace on Sporting's final league match of the season, against Chaves on 18 May,[53] to become the second Swedish player to win the top scorer award after Mats Magnusson in 1989–90.[54] He was also named the best player of the Primeira Liga and was included in the Best XI.[55] On 28 May, two days after his appearance for the club in the Portuguese Cup final, Gyökeres underwent surgery on his left knee in Lisbon.[56]

2024–25 season

Gyökeres made his return from injury on 3 August 2024, assisting twice in the 4–3 loss to rivals Porto in the 2024 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[57] He scored seven times in the four league matches that month, including a hat-trick in a 5–0 win away to Farense on 23 August. In the process, he became the league highest top scorer in the 21st century, after four matchweeks.[58] Gyökeres also earned the league's Player of the Month and Forward of the Month awards for the month of August.[59] On 17 September, in his UEFA Champions League debut, he also scored his first goal in the competition, opening the scoring in their 2–0 victory over Lille, being awarded man of the match, during the inaugural matchday of the newly formatted Champions League league phase.[60] On 1 November, Gyökeres scored four goals in a single match during a 5–1 rout against Farense, with his first-half hat-trick tying Beto Acosta's feat reached in the 2000–01 campaign.[61] On 5 November, he became the second Swedish player (after Zlatan Ibrahimović) and the first Sporting player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League era in a 4–1 victory over Manchester City.[62][63] Following his performances, he was linked with a move back to the Premier League.[64]

International career

Youth

Gyökeres played youth football for Sweden at under-19 and under-21 level.[65] Gyökeres featured regularly for Sweden in the nation's qualification campaign for the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship during which he scored twice, including the winning goal against Italy to help Sweden qualify for the tournament for the first time.[9][66] He was then selected for the squad which took part in the tournament in Georgia and scored in all three of Sweden's group matches but was unable to help the nation progress to the knockout stages of the tournament. His return of three goals later saw him share the Golden Boot award with England's Ben Brereton and Ryan Sessegnon, and the Netherlands' Joël Piroe.[67]

Senior

On 8 January 2019, Gyökeres made his senior international debut for the Sweden men's national football team in a 0–1 loss against Finland.[68] Three days later, Gyökeres scored his first senior goal for Sweden in a 2–2 draw vs Iceland.[69] In October 2021, after scoring 9 goals in 11 EFL Championship games for Coventry, Gyökeres was called up to the Sweden national team to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic to face Kosovo and Greece for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.[70] On 16 October 2023, Gyökeres had given Sweden a 15th-minute lead before Romelu Lukaku equalised in an away game against Belgium, when the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier was abandoned at half-time following a Islamist-related fatal shooting in Brussels that targeted and killed two Swedes outside the stadium.[71]

On 16 November 2024, he scored the first goal in a 2–1 win against Slovakia, helping Sweden clinch promotion to League B of the UEFA Nations League.[72] Three days later, Gyökeres scored four goals in a 6–0 Nations League home win over Azerbaijan; completing his first international hat-trick in the process.[73]

Player profile

Style of play

Gyökeres is known for his physicality, pace and stamina,[74][75] using his acceleration to exploit space behind defenders and his strength to act as a target man in aerial duels and ground battles.[76] He excels in both aerial duels and on the ground, using his strength and size to shield the ball and link play, often contributing by running the channels or delivering crosses, while also being capable of creating chances through sharp turns and flicks in one-on-one situations.[77][78] His pressing ability, helps him disrupt opposition build-up and force defensive mistakes, helping also in set-piece situations.[79]

At Sporting CP's 3–4–3 formation, he plays as the central striker positioned at the highest point in the attack to lead the offensive line.[78] He often makes runs into the box and uses his physical presence to challenge defenders, pulling them out of position to create space for the wide forwards.[78] Gyökeres also drifts into the wings or half-spaces to help stretch the opposition's defense.[78][76] His link-up play involves holding the ball and distributing it to teammates, creating opportunities through his movement and positioning.[78][76]

Goal celebrations

Gyökeres celebrates his goals by crossing both of his hands over his mouth; his teammate Josh Eccles said in March 2023: "I think the celebration is because of the character in the film [Hannibal Lecter]. He eats people and Viktor destroys defences."[80][81][82] According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet in November 2023, Gyökeres said: "There were lots of guesses... It was this [Hannibal Lecter] and Batman and everything possible, but nobody got it right. No one came close. Yes, it's a secret. I can clarify that, but not today."[83][84] On 18 December 2023, in the flash-interview for Sport TV after a 2–0 league victory at home to rivals Porto, he was questioned about his usual goal celebration and answered: "[laughs] I thought you'd ask me sooner. I've been here for a few months and no one has asked me that question... I'll tell you after the season if we win the league... no problem."[85][86] In June 2024, the Portuguese media claimed the goal celebrations were inspired by Bane, a comics character, after Gyökeres has posted on Instagram a phrase attributed to Bane.[87]

Personal life

Gyökeres is of Hungarian descent through his grandfather.[88] His name means 'rooty' in Hungarian.[89]

Gyökeres was in a long-term relationship with fellow professional footballer Amanda Nildén.[90] The two met each other when they were teenagers playing for IF Brommapojkarna in the Stockholm suburbs.[91] Upon Gyökeres' transfer to Brighton in 2018, Nildén moved with him to England and impressed enough to secure a spot in the club's ladies team.[92][93] In January 2024, it was revealed that he was maintaining a relationship with Portuguese actress Inês Aguiar.[94][95][96]
