Just after scoring a hat-trick in Sporting Lisbon’s 4-1 Champions League victory over Manchester City earlier this month.
In just 24 games this season, the 26-year-old has already scored 32 goals for both club and country combined.

After losing to Luton Town at Wembley, they lost their chance to keep him. Even though he was the finest striker in England outside of the Premier League that season.
It was anticipated that Gyokeres, formerly of Brighton & Hove Albion, would rejoin the Premier League. Numerous clubs were linked to him, but nothing ever materialized.
Rather, he completed a surprise transfer to Sporting, who Gyokeres personally selected because. According to his agency, he believed Amorim would make him a stronger player. Did he not make a mistake?
In 50 games in all competitions last season, he recorded 15 assists and 43 goals.
He carried his form to the European stage for the first time. Scoring five of his 43 goals in nine Europa League outings.
With 18 games in Sporting colors, the Swede has scored 23 goals, continuing where he left off this season.

Although he has not shown that he can be a consistent provider of goals for the team. To his credit, though, injuries have hindered his development this year.
United does not currently have a player they can rely on to provide them with the assurance of goals because. Joshua Zirkzee is not a natural goal scorer, as evidenced by his lone goal this season.
Gyokeres is now the joint-top leading goalscorer in Europe’s top club tournament. Despite the fact that some contend he has not yet established himself in one of the continent’s top five leagues.
He is now expected to score every time he takes the field, and like Haaland. His numbers are getting almost out of control. In 54 club and national games in 2024, he has scored 58 goals.
