Chelsea continue to be linked with Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, who has been unstoppable this season.
It has been claimed that Chelsea are already trying to agree a deal with Sporting to sign Viktor Gyokeres.
The striker has been in prolific form, scoring 24 goals in just 19 appearances. Again, he has looked untouchable in the current campaign.
However, Gyokeres does appear to have one weakness, or at least statistically. It is probably not something to worry about, though, if you are Chelsea or another interested club.
Viktor Gyokeres’ strengths and weaknesses
Right now, finishing is quite clearly Gyokeres’ best attribute. He scored 43 goals in the 2023/24 campaign, meaning that he has netted almost 70 times since the start of last season.
That is incredible and makes it no surprise that WhoScored have finishing down as one of his strengths.
Key passes and dribbling are a couple more Gyokeres has, but when it comes to weaknesses he only has one.
According to WhoScored, that weakness is his defensive contribution, which is really not a problem as a striker, especially if that strikers scores every week.
Ultimately, you can see why he is wanted at Stamford Bridge. However, it has been reported that Gyokeres is not desperate to join Chelsea.
Nicolas Jackson’s strengths and weaknesses
Nicolas Jackson is currently Chelsea’s first-choice striker and while the 23-year-old has not been anywhere near as prolific as Gyokeres, he has still done a good job leading the line this season.
In total, Jackson has scored seven goals in 12 Premier League appearances, which includes his strike against Leicester City at the weekend.
Like Gyokeres, WhoScored have also listed dribbling as one of Jackson’s strengths. However, the Senegal international needs to work on the timing of his runs, with offside awareness being put down as a weakness.
| Nicolas Jackson’s strengths | Nicolas Jackson’s weaknesses |
| Dribbling | Offside awareness |
| Key passes | N/A |
| Headed attempts | N/A |
Still being just 23 years of age, though, Jackson has time to improve his runs and become even more prolific.
