Gyokeres has scored 10 goals in 29 appearances for the Gunners, just five of which have come in the Premier League. Gyokeres was benched for Arsenal’s Premier League defeat to Manchester United last weekend, with Gabriel Jesus favoured by Arteta following his long injury lay-off. ‘I feel at the moment, even though Viktor Gyokeres didn’t start at the weekend, I don’t think he’s one of the top strikers in Europe. ‘They brought Gyokeres in as the centre-forward but I don’t think he’s good enough.
