"It's incredible - he's a goal machine"

"Goal machine" and "obsessed with winning" – Viktor Gyökeres was praised by his teammates after the goal show against Azerbaijan. Himself, he calmly states: Of course, you wanted to do one more, but now it became four and that was well approved anyway.

Four goals against Azerbaijan, victory in the top scorer list in the Nations League and 32 goals in both club and national team this season.

Viktor Gyökeres exceeds all expectations time after time.

The Sporting Lisbon forward is rumored to almost all of the world's top clubs.

"You clearly enjoy it"

Despite this, he has no problem keeping his feet on the ground.

It's quite simple. It's fun to score goals, and you clearly enjoy it. But there are many matches, and it's just about trying to continue doing it, he says and continues:

You try not to live in what has happened, even though it has gone very well.

After his new success against Azerbaijan, it is clear that the 26-year-old won the top scorer list in the Nations League.

It's always fun to win a top scorer list, no matter which one it is. So it was nice.

Even ahead of a certain other Nordic forward, Erling Haaland.

Hehe, ah. It doesn't play a bigger role, says Gyökeres and smiles.

"He's making history"

Despite the success, several of his teammates in the Swedish national team were not particularly surprised.

You start getting used to him scoring some "bags" every match now. He's obsessed with scoring goals and winning, it's inspiring to see, says childhood friend Isac Lidberg.

Even fellow forwards Alexander Isak and Dejan Kulusevski join in the praise.

You start getting a little used to it. It's incredible, he's a goal machine, says Alexander Isak.

He's making history right now, and I'm proud of him, says Dejan Kulusevski.
