Arsenal Legend Denies Involvement in Viktor Gyokeres Blame Dispute
Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal’s latest signing from Sporting CP, has faced challenges finding the net this season. The Swedish striker, who was acquired for £64 million during the summer transfer window, has scored only three goals in nine Premier League appearances.
Performance Overview
This season, Gyokeres has recorded five goals for Arsenal, including two against Leeds United during his debut in August. His only other league goal was against Nottingham Forest in September. Since then, he has struggled, going five matches without a goal.
Recent Insights from Nigel Winterburn
Former Arsenal player Nigel Winterburn has offered insights into Gyokeres’ struggles. Winterburn argues that the striker is not solely to blame for his scoring difficulties this season.
- Winterburn believes Gyokeres has improved in recent matches and is making valuable runs.
- He notes that the team is still adapting to Gyokeres’ style of play.
- Winterburn is confident that Gyokeres will soon find his scoring form.
Coaching and Team Dynamics
As Arsenal prepares for their upcoming fixture against Burnley, Winterburn highlights the importance of teamwork. He points out that while Gyokeres is crucial, team dynamics play a significant role in his scoring potential.
- Arsenal has been effective on set plays but needs to create more open-play chances.
- Winterburn emphasizes the need for link-up play and movement from the striker.
If Gyokeres continues to struggle after the holiday season, it may raise concerns about his impact. For now, however, Winterburn remains optimistic about Gyokeres’ contributions to the team as he adjusts to life at Arsenal.
