Gyökeres among 15 Arsenal players named for the 2026 World Cup

Viktor Gyökeres is one of 15 Arsenal players heading to the World Cup, with the Gunners sending the second-largest contingent to the tournament. Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz are among the nine nations represented from the Emirates. For Sweden, Gyökeres carries the attacking burden after a season Graham Potter defended as brilliant despite some fans' calls for more goals. The striker's Premier League title-winning campaign now shifts to Dallas, where Blågult open their World Cup group stage. (1)
