'Better than Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Erling Haaland!' - Viktor Gyokeres told 'Man Utd are calling' as Sweden striker hits 32-goal mark for 2024-25 season in November

Gyokeres has been in prolific goalscoring form this season for club and country and took his tally to 32 in 24 games after scoring four times in a 6-0 win against Azerbaijan on Tuesday. The 26-year-old's goalscoring exploits have already led to speculation he could leave Sporting, with a host of clubs including Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Arsenal already linked with the Swedish hotshot.

Football fan @PauloP060802 made a huge claim about the Swede in a post on X: "Gyokeres is better than Haaland and I’ll stand with that forever."

And another comparison was made by @MrUnited25 who wrote: "Viktor Gyokeres already surpassed Zlatan Ibrahimovich career for Sweden."

Manchester United fan @Chima_SZN was also getting excited, posting: "Wait, Gyokeres has 30 goals already this season? I’m not even sure my entire club has 30 goals in all comps this season."

And @OgwChuks added: "Gyokeres’ stats don’t feel normal again since messi and cr7 left the big leagues, if this was 2016 we wouldn’t bat an eye."

Finally, another United fan, @Dogorizee, joked: "Manchester united is calling, pick up the call Gyokeres."

Gyokeres has said he wants to finish the season with Sporting but will surely not lack for offers at the end of the campaign if he continues his current form. The arrival of former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim at United had led to suggestions the Red Devils could indeed come calling in the summer, with the Portuguese coach already admitting Gyokeres could be on the move at the end of the season.

Gyokeres is currently top of the scoring charts in all of the Nations League, Champions League and Portuguese top flight.

Gyokeres is now due to link back up with Sporting after returning from international duty with Sweden. There seems little doubt there will be plenty of eyes on the striker for the rest of the campaign as clubs weigh up whether to try and tempt the striker away from the Portuguese side.
