Arteta, Arsenal and Viktor Gyokeres
Digest more
Jamie Carragher claims that people were suggesting Viktor Gyokeres was not at the level to play for a top-class team, and that sentiment is coming true at Arsenal. There have been big question marks over Gyokeres’ performances at Arsenal this season, with the striker netting just six goals in 19 matches.
Viktor Gyokeres has not had an easy start to life at Arsenal. The striker’s protracted transfer saga in the summer meant he arrived late for pre-season, and then an injury to Kai Havertz in the opening game of the campaign meant he had to exclusively lead the line for months.
Rio Ferdinand says Viktor Gyokeres may need to work on his ‘understanding’ with Bukayo Saka if he is to end his barren spell in front of goal for Arsenal. Arsenal saw off strong competition from Manchester United to sign Gyokeres in the summer transfer window, with Sporting shaking hands on a £64million deal for the forward.
Mikel Arteta's biggest kryptonite on his journey to proving he can be the manager to fix Arsenal's trophy drought has been his striking department. And after the Gunners' 3-0 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday night, it seems everyone is making the same worrying point about Viktor Gyokeres.
