Viktor Gyokeres was an exciting young talent, but Brighton did not think he was ready for the first team yet, and he spent most of his time at the club away on loans. He was sent on loan to German football club St. Pauli in the 2019/20 season and to English football club Swansea City in the 2020/21 season. While he was recalled by Brighton on 14th January 2021, he was sent out on another loan just a day later, this time to Coventry City. This marked an important move in Gyokeres’ professional career.
