The island heard about him two years ago when he led Coventry to the final of the playoffs to enter the Premier League with goals, and then he replaced rainy England with sunny Lisbon and exploded...
If there were those who thought that Viktor Đekereš scored 43 goals for Sporting by accident last season, this time the goal-machine from Sweden convinced them once again. The guy who was born 26 years ago in Stockholm in the season that has just started he has a double-digit number of goals next to his name, or more precisely - in eight games for the club and the national team, he has already hit the net 11 times, and he managed to set up five goals for his teammates.
What kind of series at the start of the season it is about is perhaps best told by the fact that he didn't score in the first match against Porto in the Portuguese Super Cup (but he did register two assists), and that he didn't stop after that...
He scored eight times for the "lions" from "Alvalade" in the Portuguese championship (including a goal in the derby against Porto), while with three goals he marked Sweden's performances in the League of Nations.
"Transfermarkt" calculated that in a total of 56 games in the last 365 days, he had an average of 1,26 goals/assists per game, which is a better performance than Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah...
Džekereš started his career in the Swedish team Bromapojkarn, after which he moved to the Island, first to Brighton (for which he never played), and wore the jerseys of Swansea and Coventry, with a short episode in Sankt Pauli.
Before joining Sporting, he was mostly a striker for second division clubs, but Rubena Amorim showed that he is a class act.
