Gyokeres Confronts Form Slump for Sweden as Arsenal Voices Defend His Impact

Teammates cite elite pressing data as evidence of his broader value.

Overview

  • After Sweden’s 2-0 loss to Switzerland, Viktor Gyokeres said “Of course, it’s not good enough,” as Sweden sit bottom of their World Cup qualifying group, eight points off the leaders.
  • The striker’s goalless run now spans recent matches for club and country, with three goals in his first ten Arsenal appearances.
  • UEFA presented Gyokeres with the Nations League top-scorer award for nine goals, finishing ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.
  • Premier League data shows he has covered 71.7 km in seven games, the most among top-flight strikers, and he leads in high pressures in the attacking third and box.
  • Arsenal defender Cristhian Mosquera praised Gyokeres’s influence in training, calling him “a beast, an animal” who raises standards for teammates.
