Swedish police reportedly suspect that the transfer of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP to Arsenal led to an attempted shooting in Stockholm.

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has spoken out in support of close friend Alexander Isak following his controversial transfer from Newcastle to Liverpool.

Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has admitted that leaving Alexander Isak out of Friday’s 2-2 draw against Slovenia was purely down to caution.

Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres have come in for scrutiny after Sweden slumped to an embarrassing World Cup qualifying defeat. In a night that will haunt them for years, the once-proud Scandinavian giants crashed to a shocking 1-0 defeat to Kosovo in Gothenburg, leaving their qualifying hopes in tatters.

Graham Potter delivered the start of his first press conference since landing the Sweden international manager's job in Swedish as he spoke of the "great honour" at taking charge of the Nordic nation.

The former Chelsea and West Ham boss has openly admitted his “feelings” for Sweden and is said to be the frontrunner to replace Jon Dahl Tomasson, who was sacked after a disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign left the Scandinavian side bottom of their group.
