The 28-year-old has scored 25 goals in 41 appearances for his country and has found the net in each of his last four internationals. He is keen to maintain that form under Graham Potter.
“It has felt good in that regard. Of course I want to continue on that path and score goals for the national team,” Gyökeres told Fotbollskanalen.
The striker joined Arsenal from Sporting CP in the summer of 2025 and scored 21 goals with three assists in 55 appearances across all competitions during his first season, helping the club win the Premier League.
His second campaign has been more difficult. Gyökeres has often had to settle for a place on the bench in the league, with Mikel Arteta using Kai Havertz as his preferred central forward. The Swede has nevertheless contributed in other competitions, and his recent Champions League goal against Slavia Prague offered a reminder of his finishing ability.
Across 14 appearances in all competitions this season, he has registered three goals and three assists, according to available match statistics.
Arsenal remain top of the Premier League, with 27 points from their opening 10 matches and a five-point advantage over Brighton. Gyökeres is contracted at the Emirates Stadium until 2030 and has been linked with a possible departure, although he has expressed a desire to stay and establish himself.
His immediate focus is on Sweden, who face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Nations League on Saturday. Victory would secure promotion to League A, giving the team the opportunity to test itself against stronger opposition.
“That’s where you want to be, of course. Like the other nations who are in the Nations League. We want to play against the biggest nations. Measure ourselves,” he added.
Gyökeres has previously played for Sporting, Brighton, Coventry City and IF Brommapojkarna, but his international scoring record has become a major part of his reputation.
With 25 goals already for Sweden, he is also moving towards the national team's all-time scoring record of 62, held by Zlatan Ibrahimović. Gyökeres has not made that his immediate priority, but his recent run gives him a realistic opportunity to keep closing the gap.
