In a Sweden squad that also boasts Liverpool’s club-record signing Alexander Isak, there is more expectation on Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres to be the talismanic figure in the final third for Graham Potter’s Swedes. Record-breakingly good at Sporting CP, Gyokeres received criticism while at Arsenal last season and he was left out of the starting eleven for their eventual penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final in late-May but the former Coventry City man still finished as the top scorer for the Premier League champions while also being essential in propelling Sweden to qualification with a playoff semi-final hat-trick against Ukraine and then the late playoff final winner against Poland.
