Gyokeres has had a fine start to life in Portugal, scoring 15 times in his first 18 appearances in all competitions to lead his side to the top of the table. He is a Sweden international who spent three years on the books of Brighton.
He made just eight appearances for the Seagulls and had loan spells at Swansea and Coventry before joining the latter on a permanent deal in 2021. Gyokeres scored 43 times in 116 games for the Sky Blues, notching 21 goals in his final season in the Championship.
