Viktor Gyokeres on Track to Become Football's Top Goal-Scorer of 2024!

MEET THE GOAL-SCORING SENSATION: Viktor Gyokeres Ends 2024 as Football's Leading Marksman!

In an incredible 12 months, Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres has transformed into one of the most feared and admired strikers in football. The Sweden international has left some of the biggest names in the sport in his wake, outscoring the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappe, and Cristiano Ronaldo to become the top goal-scorer of 2024.

With an astonishing 52 goals in 55 games for club and country, Gyokeres has cemented his status as one of the most clinical finishers in the game. His impressive tally has seen him surge to the top of the scoring charts, 12 goals clear of his nearest rival, Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski.
