Nygren on Gyökeres: One of the best strikers

Opinion about Viktor Gyökeres at Arsenal ranges from praise to criticism. Benjamin Nygren has a clear picture of him. "Viktor is, in my opinion, one of the best strikers in the world," he says.

Nygren has performed better numerically than his national-team teammate at Arsenal. With 15 goals in the Scottish league, he outdoes Gyökeres' tally in the Premier League. But the difference between the leagues is of course noticeable.

Nygren's record, however, shows he has continued to deliver for his clubs after moving from North Zealand to Celtic. This has not escaped the notice of national team coach Graham Potter.

Nygren prefers the role of a withdrawn striker or attacking midfielder. If he gets his way, he will play behind Gyökeres against Ukraine.

- I can play a little bit everywhere. Position is not that important to me. I move a lot, want to get the ball, create chances and get forward.
