While Portugal’s Primeira Liga is not as strong as England’s Premier League, there is no doubt Gyokeres has shown he can be lethal in the box.
His shot conversion rate of 28.4% is similar to that of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland (29.2%) in his record-breaking 2022-23 season.
But though his goalscoring exploits have put the Sweden striker in such demand, Gyokeres has much more to his game.
He is known for his intelligent movement and intense work-rate, and his blend of physical strength, technical skill and tactical awareness have earned him admiring glances from clubs.
He is a provider as well as a goalscorer, with a lot of his chance creation coming from his love of running with the ball.
According to data from Opta, Gyokeres created 2.15 chances per 90 minutes last season, which translated to 1.42 goal contributions per game.
