Quote

“Viktor has so many qualities. He is a fast and strong presence ahead, with an extraordinary number of goals at the club and international level. He brings clinical advantages with high conversion rates from opportunities to become a goal, with his smart movements in the box making it a constant threat.” – Mikel Arteta

“I always want to score goals,” he said. “To be part of this club and to score goals in this kit and with this badge in front of all supporters, I can’t wait. This will be an extraordinary feeling.” – Viktor Gyökeres

HISTORY

A Bloomer who was late in the term football, Gyökeres joined Brighton and Hove Albion in 2018 and quickly gathered loan experience in St. Pauli, Swansea City and Coventry City.

None of the 2020/21 championship spells are full of goals. But Sky Blues saw sufficient potential to then sign it permanently in the summer.

This is where Gyökeres found his plot and brought his team to the premier league football threshold. However, Coventry lost the final playoff 2022/23 from Luton Town.

For sale to Lisbon Giants Sporting CP, two seasons at the top of the Portuguese top. The title of the back-to-back league, where he produced 68 goals and 16 assists in 66 matches. In all competitions, this is 97 and 27 amazing only from 104 opportunities.

Very rarely for anyone anywhere to record more goals than appearance but Gyökeres did that in 2024/25. The calculation is better than the others in the main European league.

Gyökeres also helped seven times last season, which means he produced a return attack every 61 minutes. It is a faster level than the Premier League player – even Mohamed Salah (£ 14.5 million).

From Hungarian descent, Gyökeres is currently in 15 goals from 26 Sweden hats.

Play style

Direct attackers who like to use explosive speed and strength to run behind the defense with repeated, Gyökeres is also a shot monster.

Besides, you don’t score 39 goals without letting fly regularly. Last season, he collected 103 efforts. Only five players in the Premier League 38 matches have more than this.

In addition, the impressive accuracy of 70.9% shot is proportional to the top FPL shot (highlighted in red, above).

Where gyokeres suitable at Arsenal

Arsenal’s long search for the middle striker has taken place as the best part of two years. So now they finally landed, he was expected to be a regular starter.

Even so, Mikel Arteta is a big fan Kai Havertz (£ 7.5 million) and, German NTHE has now recovered from a large hamstring injury. So what does it mean for Gyökeres?

Top: Played position, according to transfermarkt

He scored 167 of his 192 goals (87%) as the central striker, but also enjoyed running the left channel. Maybe Sweden people will be used to the left of 4-3-3 positions, alternately with Havertz.

This will give you another opponent to worry about. If they duplicate on the right side Bukayo from (£ 10.0 million), the change of fast games will expose them to the threat of Gyökeres.

He is fast, immediately and carries an element of chaos that has been lost from the front lines of Arsenal which often centered on the system that struggled against the low block last season. Especially when injured in Saka, Havertz and Gabriel Jesus (£ 6.5 million) built.

Addition Martin Zubimendi (£ 5.5 million) in midfield must allow the Gunners to play the ball forward faster and Gyökeres will be aware through the ball of the two Spaniards and Martin Odegaard (£ 8.0 million).

Also, their high press intends to produce fast turnover. It must be seen Declan rice (£ 6.5 million) relying on Gyökeres to finish the work of stealing the ball alone.

Will Gyoker deserve to be purchased at FPL?

Wherever he was mobilized, this big signing has the ability to make the impact of the big FPL this season.

There is a question mark about whether productive goalscorer in Portugal can translate the form to a higher standard of the Premier League. But even if the number of goals is cut into two, there will still be a number of fans and FPL managers will be happy.

The next number of Arsenal did make players choose from the rapidly more complicated arteta troops. They also have an unpleasant start until 2025/26, facing Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle in the first six dangerous gameweeks.

That is why the initial advice is to carefully observe the pre-season progress of Gyökeres and give him time to adapt. Gameweek 7, when Arsenal’s schedule seems better, it can be the right time to switch to large Sweden people.
