Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has said that he has what it takes to overtake the legendary Zlatan Ibrahimovic as Sweden’s greatest scorer. Zlatan retired with 62 goals for the Blagult, a figure that has long seemed untouchable for any modern Swedish attacker, but Gyokeres currently has 25 goals in 41 senior appearances for his country.
Asked if catching Ibrahimovic is a realistic ambition, Gyokeres simply revealed that it is very much possible as a long-term ambition.
The former Sporting CP forward added that he is looking forward to scoring more goals for the Swedish national team.
His words, “Of course it is possible.
Yes, if I continue playing and play for a longer period.
So yes, of course it’s possible. It’s a goal to work towards, 100 percent. It has felt good with that part.
It is clear that I want to continue on that track and score goals for the national team. It’s a fantastic feeling. It can’t get much better than that.
I have thought about it anyway. That is the plan.”
On the match against Poland, “That’s where you want to be, of course. Like the other nations that are in the Nations League. We want to play against the biggest nations. Measure ourselves.”
