Viktor Gyökeres: Age, Biography and Wiki
Viktor Einar Gyökeres is a Swedish professional footballer born on June 4, 1998, making him 26 years old as of May 2025. He began his professional career in 2015 with Brommapojkarna, a club based in Stockholm, Sweden. After over fifty appearances there, he signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in 2018 but struggled to secure consistent playing time. This led to loan spells at St. Pauli in Germany, Swansea City, and Coventry City in England. In 2021, Gyökeres joined Coventry City permanently, where he made significant impact by scoring 40 goals and providing 19 assists over two seasons. In 2023, Sporting CP signed him for a club-record transfer fee, where he excelled by winning consecutive Primeira Liga titles in 2024 and 2025, and earning individual honors such as the Bola de Prata twice as the league’s top scorer and Player of the Year.
He has also represented Sweden at various youth levels, being the joint-top scorer at the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and made his senior international debut in 2019.

Gyökeres played youth football for Sweden at under-19 and under-21 level. Gyökeres featured regularly for Sweden in the nation's qualification campaign for the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship during which he scored twice, including the winning goal against Italy to help Sweden qualify for the tournament for the first time. He was then selected for the squad which took part in the tournament in Georgia and scored in all three of Sweden's group matches but was unable to help the nation progress to the knockout stages of the tournament. His return of three goals later saw him share the Golden Boot award with England's Ben Brereton and Ryan Sessegnon, and the Netherlands' Joël Piroe.
Gyökeres celebrates his goals by crossing both of his hands over his mouth; his former Coventry City teammate Josh Eccles said: "I think the celebration is because of the character in the film [ Hannibal Lecter]. He eats people and Viktor destroys defences." According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet in November 2023, Gyökeres said: "There were lots of guesses... It was this [Hannibal Lecter] and Batman and everything possible, but nobody got it right. No one came close. Yes, it's a secret. I can clarify that, but not today." On 18 December 2023, in the flash-interview for Sport TV after a 2–0 league victory at home to rivals Porto, he was questioned about his usual goal celebration and answered: "[laughs] I thought you'd ask me sooner. I've been here for a few months and no one has asked me that question... I'll tell you after the season if we win the league... no problem." In June 2024, the Portuguese media claimed the goal celebrations were inspired by Bane, a comics character, after Gyökeres has posted on Instagram a phrase attributed to Bane.
