Arsenal star sets new goal record after clear transfer message sent

Gyokeres scored twice for Sweden in a 3-2 Nations League win, becoming the first player to score in eight consecutive matches in the competition.

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres set a new Nations League record as Sweden defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-2 in Stockholm on Saturday night, securing promotion back to League A with a game to spare.

Gyokeres netted a first-half brace via penalties, the first earned after a foul by Stjepan Radeljic in the 11th minute and the second during stoppage time following a foul on Daniel Svensson. He became the first player ever to score in eight consecutive Nations League matches, with 12 goals during that run. His overall record for Sweden stands at 27 goals in 42 games.

The 28-year-old has faced criticism for his performances at Arsenal this season, with only two of his eight goals coming for the club. He has yet to register in the Premier League, where Kai Havertz remains manager Mikel Arteta's preferred option up front. However, Gyokeres confirmed ahead of the match that he "wanted" to stay at Arsenal despite the struggles.
