Quick Bio

Sweden''s powerhouse striker, a direct, muscular runner who became one of Europe''s most prolific scorers before a major transfer. Gyokeres bullies defenders and charges in behind, pairing with Isak to give Sweden a daunting front line. For an American comparison, he is the bruising power back — the run-you-over scorer who combines strength and surprising speed.
