"It's always the case about who you're comparing with. I have a beautiful apartment, but this guy has the biggest mansion in the world. So my apartment is terrible, or I can be so proud that I worked so hard to get and pay the debts of my apartment and refurbished it and have a beautiful kitchen. I go to his house, and I get depressed. So, yeah, it's depending on the eyes that you look at it."
"So I think what he [Gyokeres] is doing is improvable, yes, but I think his contribution, I think it's been important so far."
Viktor Gyokeres, signed by Arsenal from Sporting CP for £63.5 million, has scored 15 goals and provided 2 assists in 36 games during his debut season. He is approaching Didier Drogba's debut season record of 16 goals and 8 assists in 41 games. When asked about the comparison ahead of Arsenal's match against Chelsea, Mikel Arteta rejected direct player comparisons using a house analogy. He argued that judging players based on comparative statistics can be misleading, emphasizing instead the importance of recognizing individual effort and contribution. Arteta acknowledged Gyokeres' performance is improvable but highlighted his important contributions to the team.
