Viktor Gyokeres is set to face off against his Arsenal teammate William Saliba at the World Cup, a highly anticipated matchup that has drawn attention from football fans around the globe.
Gyokeres' immediate focus remains on Sweden's World Cup campaign, with a knockout game against France on the horizon. His team has shown resilience throughout the tournament, earning a creditable draw against Japan and securing a spot in the last 32.
Gyokeres expressed his confidence in Sweden's capabilities, saying, "We have to be at our best, we have to do our defensive organisation almost perfect and then of course take the chances we're going to get in the game."
Despite being considered underdogs, Gyokeres believes in his team's abilities, citing past performances against top teams as evidence. "We have our confidence, I think we have to believe in ourselves, we've seen in a lot of games this tournament that you can win games and you can do well even though you play against the best teams."
Gyokeres has been linked to a potential move to Atletico Madrid, with a summer swap deal involving Julian Alvarez potentially on the table. However, the young forward has stated his commitment to Arsenal, saying, "Of course it's flattering to see that clubs are interested but I feel extremely comfortable at Arsenal."
