Viktor Gyokeres, who is set to complete his move to Arsenal over the next 48 hours, averaged more than a goal a game in the season just gone at Sporting, notching 54 in 52 appearances, with 39 of those coming in the Portuguese top flight.
He was the division's top scorer by a distance, bagging more than double the number of Porto's highly rated Spain Under-21 striker Samu and Benfica's Greek forward Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored twice against England at Wembley in October.
It is perhaps worth noting, though, that 35% of his goals in 2024-25 were penalties, with Gyokeres converting all 19 of his spot-kicks.

He is also productive at international level and finished top of the 2024-25 Nations League scoring charts with nine goals for Sweden, one more than Portugal legend Cristiano Ronaldo. However, five of those were scored in matches against Azerbaijan.
Prior to his spell in Portugal, Gyokeres notched 43 goals in 116 league and cup appearances for Championship side Coventry City and his former employers are set to land 10% of any profit Sporting receive above the price they paid for the marksman.
