Viktor Gyokeres' season stats are crazy.

Viktor Gyokeres continued his impressive start to the season during the international break, scoring five goals in just two games for Sweden.


Gyokeres is perhaps the most sought-after centre-forward in European football right now, with several of the continent's superpowers interested in signing him from Sporting Lisbon.

With four goals in Sweden's 6-0 hammering of Azerbaijan, the 26-year-old now has 32 goals for club and country this season. It's an incredible statistic for a player who appears to be worth a lot of money to Sporting in the coming transfer window.

The insane statistics underlying Viktor Gyokeres' season thus far

Champions League's top goal scorer (5)

Gyokeres leads the Champions League scoring chart this season, with five goals in just four matches. Gyokeres has scored the most goals, tying Harry Kane of Bayern Munich and Barcelona's Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski for first place.


A hat-trick against Manchester City on matchday four was a statement performance against top-tier opponents.

Primeira Liga's leading goal scorer (16)

Gyokeres won the Bola de Prata as the highest scorer in Portuguese football last season, scoring 29 goals in 33 games. The Swedish striker had a fairytale debut season, winning the Primeira Liga Player of the Year award after propelling Sporting to victory.

He's attempting to become the first player to win the accolade in consecutive seasons since Porto's Jackson Martinez did it from 2013 to 2015. Gyokeres had 16 goals in only 11 league games this season, eight more than nearest rivals Galeno and Samu Aghehowa.

Nations League best goal scorer (9)

Gyokeres' four goals against Azerbaijan cemented his position as the Nations League's top scorer after the group stage. The attacker scored nine goals in six appearances for Sweden, helping the Scandinavians breeze through League C and secure promotion. He averaged one goal every 59 minutes.

Nations League's most assists (4)


Gyoekres lead the Nations League in goals and assists. He set up four goals for his Swedish colleagues, including one for Alexander Isak, who reciprocated in the team's 2-1 victory over Slovakia earlier this month. Gyokeres finished the group phase with four assists, along with Austria's Christoph Baumgartner.

Viktor Gyokeres' statistics for club and nation in 2024/25 include 24 games.

Goals: 32 Assists: 10 Time per goal: 62.7 minutes
Minutes per goal involvement are 47.8 minutes.

Didier Deschamps plans to discuss France captaincy with Kylian Mbappé, as Ibrahima Konaté's popularity rises.

Will Kylian Mbappé (25) keep his position as France captain in 2025? It remains to be seen, given the Real Madrid striker's absences from the previous two international holidays with Les Bleus. According to L'Equipe, Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps will confront the former PSG forward about his desire to continue wearing the captain's armband. The manager, a former France captain, reportedly wants to know if Mbappé feels the captaincy is too much for him to bear, and if wearing the captain's armband affects his time with his France teammates. According to the source, Deschamps is aware of speculations that Mbappé has considering retiring as France's captain.
