Viktor Gyokeres may be the No. 3 candidate for the title of Premier League Gold Shoe season 2025/26 as predicted by a supercomputer. The opportunity of Arsenal rookie is extremely small.
Arsenal spent £ 63.5 million to get a true striker, Gyokeres. The 27 -year -old Swedish striker will take the responsibility of scoring, bringing Arsenal to conquer the first Premier League championship since 2004. He will wear the number 14, the legendary shirt of Thierry Henry.
However, Casinahawks supercomputer said that Gyokeres could hardly win the title of top scorer. The reason is because the data analysis system predicted that he only achieved the expected goal index (XG) 16.3 during the launch season in the UK, lower than the prediction for Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah.
Both Haaland and Salah took turns to win the last 3 gold shoes, in which Salah was crowned last season with 29 goals and this was the fourth time he received this title. The XG index this season of Salah is expected to be 18.2, and Haaland is superior to 24.3. That means the Norwegian striker has up to 64.9% of the chance to win a golden shoe, while Salah ranks second with 11%.
Gyokeres only reached 4.9% – ranked third, slightly better than Chris Wood (4.4%) in the fourth position. Casinohawks did not even put Alexander Isak on the list, because his transfer future in Newcastle was unclear.
Other players have at least 1%chance: Cole Palmer (1.9%), Ollie Watkins (1.2%), Jean-Philippe Mateta (1.0%) and Younge Wissa (1.0%). The two Liverpool rookies, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, are only predicted by the opportunity of 0.05% and 0.01% respectively.
The supercomputer also said that Jorgen Strand Larsen (0.04%) is capable of winning the golden shoes higher than Bryan Mbeumo (0.03%), Liam Delap (0.03%), Omar Marmoush (0.02%) and Joao Pedro (0.01%).
And bad news for Maheus Cunha, the Summer Contract worth 62.5 million pounds of Man United, when the opportunity to lead his list of goals was considered … 0.00%.
