IF Brommapojkarna


Gyökeres signed for Brommapojkarna from IFK Aspudden-Tellus in 2013 and joined up with the club's under-17 side. He progressed through the youth teams and made his senior debut two years later.[4] He scored his first goals for the club on 20 August 2015, netting a brace in a 3–0 Svenska Cupen win over IF Sylvia.[4] The following year, with the club having suffered relegation the season before, Gyökeres scored seven goals to help Brommapojkarna secure promotion back into the Superettan.[5] He later helped Brommapojkarna into the semi-finals of the Svenska Cupen when he scored the winning goal in the quarter finals against top division side, Elfsborg.[6] Brommapojkarna were unable to progress further, though, as they were beaten 4–0 by IFK Norrköping in the next round.[7]

On 6 September 2017, having scored 10 league goals at the time, Gyökeres signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion with the deal to go through at the conclusion of the Superettan season.[8][9] He ended the season with a return of 13 goals in 29 league appearances, including a hat-trick on the final day as Brommapojkarna secured promotion to the Allsvenskan as league champions.[10][11][12]


Brighton & Hove Albion


Gyökeres officially joined Brighton on 1 January 2018 and began training with the club's under-23 side.[10] He made his senior debut for the club on 28 August, starting in a 1–0 EFL Cup defeat to Southampton.[13] On 26 January 2019, Gyökeres made his FA Cup debut coming on as a sub in a 0–0 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion.[14]

In July 2019 he moved on loan to German second tier side FC St. Pauli for the 2019–20 season.[15] On the opening day of the season he made his debut coming on as a sub in a 1–1 away draw to Arminia.[16] Gyökeres scored his first goal for St Pauli on 29 September scoring the second in a 2–0 home victory over SV Sandhausen.[17]

On 17 September 2020, Gyökeres scored his first goal for Brighton in a 4–0 victory against Portsmouth in the EFL Cup.[18]

On 2 October 2020, Gyökeres joined EFL Championship side Swansea City on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[19] He made his debut a day later, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 home win over Millwall.[20] He scored his first goal for the club on 9 January 2021, scoring the second in a 2–0 away win over Stevenage sending The Swans through to the fourth round of the FA Cup.[21] He was recalled by Brighton on 14 January 2021.[22]

He returned to Coventry City on a permanent deal on 9 July 2021, after signing a three-year contract with The Sky Blues.[27][28] Gyökeres scored in Coventry's opening game of the 2021–22 Championship season on 8 August, putting The Sky Blues back level in an eventual 2–1 victory over Nottingham Forest in Coventry's first home game since April 2019 after ground sharing with Birmingham City.[29] Gyökeres scored 17 goals in 45 league appearances for the Sky Blues in the 2021–22 season.[30]

His return of three goals later saw him share the Golden Boot award with England's Ben Brereton and Ryan Sessegnon, and the Netherlands' Joël Piroe.[33]
