Ahead of his Premier League debut at Manchester United today, the Swede revealed the inspiration of his celebration which involves interlocking his fingers and placing both hands over his face to create a mask.
The 27-year-old explained: “Before I got it, my friends were always saying to me to find my own celebration because they were very tired of me doing all kinds of stuff when I was celebrating.
“I had some time off. We went on vacation together. During that time, we came up with it after a while. We thought it looked good and I started doing it straightaway. It felt even better on the pitch.”
Gyokeres added: “I always want to score.
“To be a part of this club and to score in this kit and with this badge in front of all the supporters, I can't wait. It will be an amazing feeling."
