Overview
- UEFA confirmed that Viktor Gyökeres has scored in six consecutive Nations League appearances, a competition record that was completed during Sweden’s 1–1 draw with Bosnia & Herzegovina on Saturday.
- In the Bosnia game Gyökeres had an early goal ruled out for handball by VAR before firing in the opener around the hour mark and finishing the international break with three goals.
- Gyökeres has produced nine goals and two assists across those six Nations League matches, a scoring run that Swedish media praised and that the player says has boosted his confidence.
- At club level he has struggled for Premier League minutes this season, playing just 29 minutes in two league appearances, and Kai Havertz’s hamstring problem makes Gyökeres a likely candidate to start for Arsenal against Leeds on October 10.
- The form complicates Arsenal’s squad planning and transfer talk for 2027 because Gyökeres insists he wants more game time and last season scored 21 goals across all competitions for the club.
