Viktor Gyokeres - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Assists on equalizing goal Gyokeres assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich.

Impact The marquee forward did not make a big impact shooting the ball but did get an assist on the equalizer to give Arsenal a key point. Gyokeres likely starts against Everton and he'll need good shooting volume to get past a side that has only allowed a goal per game on average through seven domestic matches.

Adds attacking presence off bench Gyokeres generated one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Gyokeres recorded one off-target shot during 24 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He replaced Kai Havertz in the 66th minute as coach Mikel Arteta attempted to inject more movement and physicality into Arsenal's attack, with the striker stretching Forest's defensive line through runs behind the center-backs. Although Gyokeres failed to register a direct goal contribution, his introduction helped Arsenal create more space in advanced areas before Noni Madueke eventually scored the winner.

Thrives during international break Gyokeres scored the game-winner in Sweden's 1-0 win over Romania on Monday and found the back of the net in each of Sweden's four matches during the international window.

Impact Gyokeres scored the lone goal in Monday's victory in the 13th minute, and he also did it in the previous three contests, tallying four of Sweden's seven goals over that span. The Arsenal forward has endured a slow start to the 2026/27 Premier League campaign and has yet to score this season, but he should be in line for a bigger role after the break as long as Kai Havertz (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Scores winner for Sweden Gyokeres scored the winning goal in Sweden's 2-1 Nations League victory over Romania.

Impact Gyokeres continued his strong international record by scoring his 22nd goal in 38 appearances for Sweden. The striker has been limited to two substitute appearances totaling 29 minutes without a goal contribution in the Premier League this season, but his club role could increase significantly following the international break. With Kai Havertz dealing with a hamstring injury, Gyokeres should compete with Mikel Merino for starts at center-forward until Havertz returns.

One chance created off bench Gyokeres recorded no stats in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Brighton.

Impact Gyokeres came on in the 73rd minute and registered zero shots and one chance created in 17 minutes of action as Arsenal searched fruitlessly for a goal that would have made the scoreline more respectable. He was unable to impose himself against Luka Vuskovic and Pascal Struijk in the time available. Gyokeres has now featured twice as a late substitute in Arsenal's five Premier League fixtures this season without scoring.

Creates four chances in win Gyokeres registered one cross (one accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Napoli.

Impact Gyokeres made his first start of the season Wednesday as his team began the Champions League campaign. He did not take a single shot but he created four chances for his teammates, only fewer than Martin Odegaard's six. He also recorded one accurate cross. It was Gyokeres' first real minutes of the season and he looked strong, but his utilization as a playmaker rather than a finisher is a bit strange. Time will tell if this was a fluke or if that is a tactical change by the manager.

Impact Gyokeres made his first competitive appearance of the season after remaining an unused substitute in Arsenal's opening two Premier League matches.

Impact Gyokeres remained on the bench for the entire opener against Coventry, with Kai Havertz preferred ahead of him at center-forward. Manager Mikel Arteta's comments suggest workload management may have played a part in the decision, though he did not specifically confirm that Gyokeres was one of the players dealing with physical limitations. For now, Havertz appears to be ahead in the striker hierarchy, leaving Gyokeres competing for increased minutes as the season progresses.

'Not a classy attacker' but Viktor Gyokeres backed by fellow Swede to produce his 'best' for Arsenal in Premier League title defence

Best chance thwarted Gyokeres logged an on-target shot and a chance created during Sweden's 3-0 loss to France on Tuesday.

Impact Competing against a greatly talented France resulted in limited opportunities for Gyokeres and Sweden. Nonetheless, he logged the Swedes' best goal-scoring chance Tuesday. Almost right in front of goal, Gyokeres attempted a good shot that required an excellent save by France's goalkeeper Mike Maignan. As a result, for the World Cup, Gyokeres' total G/A has worsened from 1.00 even to 0.75 across four appearances. With both 12 shots (six on goal) and nine chances created, he recorded one goal and two assists, the latest of which ensured tournament-advancing progression.

Assists crucial goal for Sweden Gyokeres assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Japan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.

Impact Gyokeres assisted Anthony Elanga for Sweden's only goal of the 1-1 draw with Japan, which should see them progress to the round of 32 as the best third-placed team. Gyokeres scored one and provided two assists across the three group games. In total, he has created eight chances in the three games, and despite only having one shot in this game, had five shots in each of the first two games of the group stage. The assist came in a link-up with Elanga, who played a curled ball into the far corner of the net, which caught the keeper off guard as the ball could have been headed in by Alexander Isak.

Provides assist for equalizer Gyokeres assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Japan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.

Impact Gyokeres never quite found his rhythm in Thursday's 1-1 World Cup draw against Japan, managing just one harmless shot while picking up a yellow card during a frustrating outing for the Swedish striker. He still came up with the assist on Anthony Elanga's brilliant equalizer, but Sweden's lack of support around him limited the effectiveness of his hold-up play and left him isolated for long stretches. Despite his quiet performance, Sweden did enough to advance from Group F as one of the tournament's best third-place finishers.

Struggles in defeat Gyokeres had five shots (three on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Netherlands.

Impact Gyokeres took five shots and put three on goal, but couldn't get on the scoresheet during Saturday's one-sided loss. It was a match to forget, and the midfield getting totally outplayed didn't help, but it still wasn't a great showing by Gyokeres. He will need to be better in the final match of the group stage with Sweden still playing for a spot in the next round.
