Goals compared to xG
There is no doubt who the better finisher is out of the two players at the moment. In the league this season, Gyokeres has scored 10 goals with an xG of just 5.8.
In contrast, Jackson has an xG of 9.8 but he has only scored 7 times. These stats counter the argument that Gyokeres is playing in an easier league.
The Swedish international has had far few opportunities to score in the Liga Portugal, compared to Jackson in the English top flight.
Yet, Gyokeres has managed to score 3 more goals. The 25-year-old is simply more clinical.
