Valencia Backs Isak and Gyökeres to Challenge for World Cup Golden Boot

Former Man United captain Antonio Valencia has tipped Swedish duo Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres as serious contenders for the Golden Boot at the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026. His endorsement followed both strikers finding the net in Sweden’s 5-1 Group F win over Tunisia. Valencia says the pair must refine their movement, show more hold-up play and use their intelligence on the pitch. “It could suit Gyökeres more,” he added. Sweden next faces the Netherlands on June 20, while Tunisia take on Japan the same day. Stay tuned for more World Cup news and fixtures.
