Viktor Gyökeres is carving out a name for himself in the Primeira Liga with Sporting CP, and it's his flair for being a formidable attacking force that stands out. Not only is he scorching defences with a prolific goals-per-90 rate and enviably high goal efficiency and threat among his peers, but his snapshot shooting showcases a rare precision and tenacity. With a 100% percentile in progressive carrying and dribble success, Gyökeres is adept at affecting play dynamically and assertively. Possessing a natural knack for chance creation, his game vision results in a stunning xA percentile, complemented by the immense attacking presence you’d expect from a player who maximises his touches to lethal effect. However, his pass accuracy could raise some eyebrows—placing far below the league's elite strikers—suggesting his distribution under pressure is an area in need of refinement. Although not the strongest in ball recovery or progressive passing, it's his incisive, direct style of play that overrides these deficiencies, allowing him to be a tour de force in the final third. Gyökeres epitomises the notion of a modern striker, tailored for high-impact scenarios, as highlighted in every notable scout report.
