Arsenal s new player is the world s top? Yorke s offensive data can sweep everything

Victor Yorke was already holding the halo of a "productive shooter" when he joined Arsenal, but can this amazingly efficient striker really deserve the expectations of the outside world? Today we will analyze in-depth why this Swedish international may shine in the Premier League.

The opportunity for a football club to sign truly world-class players is not common. Because of this, fans' attention to Victor Yorke has long exceeded the scope of Arsenal fans.

Fans of all Premier League teams are paying attention to the transfer - at least from the original data, Arsenal signed a world-class player: Yorke scored 54 goals in 52 games last season. In the 2024/25 season, Yorke won the second place in the European Golden Boot Awards, lagging behind Killian Mbappe only because the Frenchman's goals have a better advantage in the weighted scoring system.

In the Portuguese Premier League, he beat stars such as Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane with 39 goals.

The following are the top five European Golden Boot Awards in the 2024/25 season:

Let's take a closer look at Yorke's world-class impressive data.

While playing for Portugal Sports, Yorke scored 97 goals in 102 appearances in various competitions, including 43 goals in 50 games in the first season and 54 goals in 52 games in the second season.

In the 2024/25 season, his 39 goals in the Portuguese Super League were far superior to all other scorers if they were included in the Premier League.

In addition to scoring 10 more goals than Salah, the best player of the 2024/25 season, Yorke also leads the Liverpool striker in many offensive data, even surpassing all Premier League players.

If he can bring such data to the Emirates Stadium, the Premier League will usher in a top European star.

Looking back on Yorke's two years in Portugal Sports, comparing him with players in the top ten European leagues will find that even by European standards, he is a top player.

Yorcres' data and European ranking in 2023-25, his goal record has been unmatched in the past two years. As shown in the table above, Yorke's finishing ability is also the best. What is more worth mentioning is that Yorke's assist data is also top-notch, and his ability in series offense is rarely matched by Europe's forwards.

The Premier League is known for its fierce competition and overall high level. There are not many players who can top or get close to the top in the above data list.

On the past 25 years, only four players who played in England have won the European Golden Boot Awards: Thierry Henry (2003/04, 2004/05), Cristiano Ronaldo (2007/08), Luis Suarez (2013/14) and Ellin Haaland (2022/23).

On the other hand, maybe we should not directly compare Yorkress's data with the top Premier League players. Opta ranks the Portuguese Premier League as the eighth largest league in Europe, ranking behind the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and the Bundesliga. Even assuming that his ability has improved by leaps and bounds in Portugal Sports' two years, the gap between the Portuguese Super League and the Premier League is a recognized fact.

The most famous example is Darwin Nunes - in the 2021/22 season, he scored 26 goals for Benfica in 28 games in the Portuguese Super League, but after joining Liverpool, he scored only 25 goals in 95 games. But Yorke is a completely different existence - when he joined Arsenal, he was already one of the most prolific scorers in Europe and one of the most exciting forwards in football.

Before being labeled as a "world-class player", he still needs to prove himself in the Premier League, but his performance of scoring 97 goals for Portugal Sports in 102 games is already amazing enough.

is comparable to Haaland, and it should make fans have Haaland-level expectations for his Premier League debut.
