Manchester United stars as his inspirations. The Swedish striker is set to make his competitive debut against the Red Devils.

Goncalo Inacio pulled one back for the hosts early in the second half, but Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard struck to secure a resounding 5-1 win over the Portuguese giants. “You were very solid defensively, it was hard to create chances,” Gyokeres admitted.

Viktor Gyokeres made his opinion on the GOAT debate clear when he named the two footballers he idolised most growing up. After a saga which has dominated this summer's transfer window, the Swedish striker is due to arrive in London on Friday to complete a protracted £63.7 million move.

Former Arsenal academy graduate Brooke Norton-Cuffy backed his ex-Coventry City teammate Viktor Gyokeres to be a big success at Arsenal ahead of his expected move. Gyokeres is set to undergo a medical with the Gunners after they agreed a deal to sign the Sweden international from Sporting CP.

Brommapojkarna has Europe's biggest youth set-up and count Viktor Gyokeres, Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall among their graduates.

Football coach and pundit Laurindo Filho has lambasted Arsenal-bound forward Viktor Gyokeres for his 'lack of professionalism' towards Sporting CP during his transfer saga.

Now, Fenerbahce head coach Jose Mourinho has shared his verdict on Gyokeres' potential move to the Premier League. While speaking to Channel 11 in Portugal, Mourinho hailed Gyokeres as a 'great player' but also claimed that the Swedish star will find it harder to compete against English clubs.

Arsenal are believed to have finally secured a full agreement with Sporting CP over the transfer of prolific striker Viktor Gyökeres after belatedly settling on suitable add-ons.
