Viktor Gyökeres has been in scintillating form, netting four goals in Sweden’s emphatic 6-0 victory over Azerbaijan on Tuesday. This performance adds to his already impressive tally, bringing his total for the season to a staggering 32 goals in just 24 appearances for both club and country.
The 26-year-old striker has been a revelation for Sporting CP, drawing comparisons with some of football’s biggest names. Unsurprisingly, his exploits have caught the attention of several major clubs, with Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal all reportedly monitoring his progress. Speculation is rife that Gyökeres could soon make a high-profile move away from Sporting.
Fans and pundits alike have taken to social media to share their thoughts on Gyökeres’ remarkable form. On X, user @PauloP060802 boldly declared, “Gyokeres is better than Haaland, and I will stick with it forever,” sparking heated debates about the Swede’s standing among Europe’s elite strikers. Another fan, @MrUnited25, made an even more audacious claim, stating, “Viktor Gyokeres has already exceeded Zlatan Ibrahimović’s career achievements for Sweden.” Such comparisons highlight the level of excitement surrounding Gyökeres’ meteoric rise.
The sheer volume of goals scored by the forward has left fans astounded. Manchester United supporter @Chima_SZN expressed disbelief at Gyökeres’ statistics, remarking, “Wait, Gyökeres has 30 goals already this season? Not even sure if my whole club has thirty goals in all competitions this season.” This sentiment reflects the growing frustration among United fans with their team’s lackluster performances, further fueling calls for the club to pursue the Swedish star.
Some fans have even suggested that Gyökeres’ achievements signal a new era in football. User @OgwChuks observed, “Gyökeres’s numbers do not feel normal anymore.
Since Messi and Ronaldo left the major leagues, if this was 2016, we wouldn’t bat an eye.” This comparison underscores how Gyökeres’ extraordinary scoring feats have become a talking point in a post-Messi-and-Ronaldo football landscape.
Finally, Manchester United fan @Dogorizee made a direct appeal, saying, “Manchester United is calling, take up the call, Gyökeres.” The comment encapsulates the growing sentiment among supporters who view him as the solution to their club’s attacking woes. As speculation continues to mount, Gyökeres’ future remains a hot topic in football circles.
