Gyokeres makes Arsenal a much better team – Arteta

In the 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid, it was obvious that there was never a bad time for a striker to score, but Viktor Gyokeres was relieved after a sluggish run. Manager Mikel Arteta believes that this could also mark the start of a more productive spell.

In his next eight games, the £64m signing Gyokeres failed to score in any of his first three goals and appeared glaringly frustrated at times.

However, his team-mates praised his overall impact, and Arteta said he thanked him for his efforts after Arsenal won by 2-0 against West Ham on Saturday.

Due to Kai Havertz’ knee injury, who played 90 minutes and seven times in Arsenal’s first 12 games, the 27-year-old has been forced to play more than expected this season.

However, Gyokeres’ tally now stands at five goals in 12 games, and his manager believes his persistence paid off with his two goals in the thumping win over Atletico on Tuesday.

There was no discussion about it because of everything that we were seeing in terms of what he was bringing to the team and how much he had contributed to it, aside from scoring goals in recent weeks, Arteta said.

“It was about maintaining that belief in himself, that he can enjoy and play freely in that emotional state.”

He had a big smile on his face as he did that, and I believe he did as well today.

In a show of unity from the Arsenal squad, Gyokeres was pushed forward by his team-mates to accept the applause of the crowd and perform his signature celebration on his own.

Arteta added that the gesture demonstrated how much other players value Gyokeres’ improvement of Arsenal.

“We all appreciate Gyokeres because he has improved our team significantly. We’ve gotten much more unpredictable, according to Arteta.

He “opens the spaces for everyone because he’s so physically there.” It’s incredible how he presses and holds the ball.

Then there’s the icing on top, and we’ll start debating goals, which is what.

In his two seasons at the Portuguese club, the 27-year-old did not consistently score 97 goals in 102 games without increasing his total.

He praised his performance, saying, “I am very pleased of course. My goals were both excellent.

“I always try to do my best, put in a lot of effort, contribute, and achieve my goals,” he said.

There is still a long way to go before we can do well and win football games. Even if that sounds monotonous, we will continue to play it game by game.

Arsenal’s excellent season-to-date includes three victories in the Champions League’s league phase, each of which the Gunners won without conceding a goal.

In their 138-year history, the club has won the most goals at this point in its history, winning 10 of their 12 matches in all competitions this year, leading the Premier League by three points, and have conceded only three goals in those contests.
