Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres has been crowned the winner of the prestigious Gerd Müller Trophy at the Ballon d’Or 2025 ceremony, held last night. The Swedish forward was recognized as the world’s best striker after a phenomenal 2024/25 campaign with Sporting CP.
Gyökeres lit up Europe with his lethal finishing, scoring 54 goals in 52 appearances for the Portuguese giants last season. His remarkable consistency and clinical edge in front of goal played a vital role in Sporting’s success and ultimately earned him a big move to the Premier League with Arsenal this summer.
The award, named after legendary German striker Gerd Müller, honors the top goalscorer across all competitions. Gyökeres’ record-breaking season ensured he edged past Europe’s elite forwards to take home the accolade.
Now settling into life in North London, the 27-year-old will look to carry his prolific form into Arsenal colors as the Gunners chase domestic and European glory.
