Arsenal told about the Viktor Gyokeres red flag that should actually stop their £67m transfer pursuit
Since Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Arsenal have lacked a striker on their books who guarantees goals.
Kai Havertz’s decline has been noticed, with the German scoring scoring just five Premier League goa🔴ls this season.
Gabriel Jesus is a “nightmare” to face in and around the ♑box due to his sublime footwork and ability to ꦐbring others into play but as an out-and-out goalscorer, he is yet to convince.
Traditionally, 🥃every team that has ever won the Premier League title, including the Gunners have been fronted by a ruthless goalscorer who dispatched at least 20 goals and led them to domestic glory.
As a result, Arsenal are interested in Viktor Gyokeres, who is having an outstanding season at Sporting🎉 CP.
Gyokeres has been tipped to leave Sporting in the summer of 2025 as well.
Arsenal urged to avoid Viktor Gyokeres transfer
Thi🌞s season, the Swedish𝄹 marksman has scored 26 goals in all competitions.
Gyokeres could be allowed to leave Sporting for a £67 million fee in the summer.
But while speaking to , Martin Keown suggested Ars💙enal to steer clear 💖of Gyokeres’ signature as the former English defender feels he lacks pace.
“The players who are there at the moment need to start scoring goals fast don’t they otherwise Mikel w🉐ill put his hands in his pocket and🥂 buy a forward.”
Keown added and then laughed: “[Gyokeres] is not quick enough and he wℱouldn’t have𝄹 been quick enough in my day.”
Th✤e Arsenal legend’s comments could take many by surprise, considering Gyokeres iꦚs renowned for his frightening pace.
The in-form marksman’s opening goal in Sporting’൩s 4-1 win against Manche🐬ster City was an example of how quick he is, as he darted past the opposition defence in a flash.
David Raya said Gyokeres is a ‘top player’
Ahead of Arsenal’s 5-1 annihilation of the Portuguese giants, David Raya was fu꧙ll of praise for Gyokeres.
Raya said via HaytersTV:ﷺ “Well, we know his strengths, we know he runs a lot in behind, he scores a lot of goals in one-v-ones and of cour🐎se, he’s a top player, he’s in form.”
T🌺he Spaniard’s assessment came from studying the h𒁃ighly-rated number nine’s game.
Considering Raya pinpoint🔜ed Gyokeres being an💖 outlet indicates that his pace is one of his strongest assets.
How he adapts to Premier League football is a myster♏y but the in-form finisher’s speed is cert♌ainly not.
