Viktor Gyökeres, born on 4 June 1998 (age 28), is a Swedish striker with Arsenal and remains a regular first-team presence in 2026–27. His market value is around £64m, according to Transfermarkt, which says plenty about the level at which his career is now being judged.
His most productive league season came at Sporting CP in 2024–25, when he scored 39 goals in 33 appearances. That was not a subtle season. It put him firmly in the bracket of forwards expected to carry a serious scoring burden rather than merely contribute around the edges.
At Arsenal in 2026–27, Gyökeres has made seven appearances in all competitions and scored once. His minutes have come across the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, FA Community Shield and Champions League, with his goal arriving in the FA Cup.
He has also stayed prominent for Sweden this season, scoring once in four World Cup appearances, four times in six European World Cup qualifiers, and four times in four Nations League matches. His club career is now centred on Arsenal, but his international output remains a significant part of his profile.
