Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres Wins Prestigious Gerd Müller Trophy
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres has been crowned the best striker in world football, winning the Gerd Müller Trophy at the Ballon d’Or ceremony held on Monday night at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
The Swedish forward earned the award following a phenomenal season with Sporting CP in Portugal, where he scored 52 goals in 54 matches across all competitions before making a high-profile move to Arsenal in the summer.
Gyökeres’ incredible scoring run powered Sporting to domestic glory and earned him widespread recognition as one of Europe’s most lethal finishers. His consistent ability to find the net made him a standout among the world’s elite strikers.
Now at Arsenal, the 26-year-old is already looking to replicate that form in the Premier League and on the European stage, as he continues to cement his place among football’s biggest names.
The Gerd Müller Trophy, named in honor of the legendary German goalscorer, is awarded annually to the most prolific striker in the world.
