Every goalscorer needs a trademark celebration and the one Viktor Gyokeres has shown off over the past few years has certainly increased its reach of late—fingers interlocked, thumbs pushed up, a mask formed across his mouth and nose.

Liverpool has slapped a €50 million price tag on Ibrahima Konate, yet Real Madrid is only considering a transfer at around €25 million, as both Barcelona and Bayern Munich enter the race.

"We don't have a lot of people in the stands, but we surely have a lot of scouts," explains Erik Nathorst Windahl, academy manager at Brommapojkarna. "In some games, mainly in the academy, it's the mums, dads... and then scouts."

The current edition of France Football magazine has a photo of Viktor Gyokeres on the cover. The photo shows Gyokeres half in shade, half in sun, displaying his famously shredded physique, not so much the standard male musculature, more a selection of lines and bulges, like he's made entirely from giant walnuts, like a perfect human challah loaf designed by a robot. In the photo, Gyokeres is smiling with a kind of fervour, as though he's about to sell you a miracle muscle powder.
