Gyökeres is known for his physicality, pace, and stamina, using his acceleration to exploit space behind defenders and his strength to act as a target man in aerial duels and ground battles. He excels in both aerial duels and on the ground, using his strength and size to shield the ball and link play, often contributing by running the channels or delivering crosses, while also being capable of creating chances through sharp turns and flicks in one-on-one situations. His pressing ability helps him disrupt opposition build-up and force defensive mistakes, helping also in set-piece situations. He often makes runs into the box and uses his physical presence to challenge defenders, pulling them out of position to create space for the wide forwards. Gyökeres also drifts into the wings or half-spaces to help stretch the opposition's defense. His link-up play involves holding the ball and distributing it to teammates, creating opportunities through his movement and positioning.
