Ranked at no.8 in FourFourTwo's list of the best strikers in the world right now, Gyokeres enjoyed a phenomenal two seasons in Portugal with Sporting.

Gyokeres has started well in North London, too, netting three goals in his opening five fixtures in the Premier League.

The Gerd Muller trophy has only ever been won by a Premier LEague player once before, with Erling Haaland lifting it in 2023.

Last year, the gong was shared between Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe.

Gyokeres is the first Swede to win an award at a Ballon d'Or ceremony.
