"Viktor Gyokeres is now close to becoming Arsenal's most prolific debut striker since 2018, according to Squawka, which should silence many critics. Alexander Lacazette managed 17 goals during his first campaign, and Gyokeres is now just two behind that tally with many games still to play."
"Gyokeres produced his best Arsenal performance so far in the North London derby as his two goals fired the Gunners to a 4-1 win in N17. Andrea Berta pushed hard for Gyokeres over the summer, and despite some questionable performances, his goal record is very hard to argue with right now."
"Following the win over Spurs, Eberechi Eze said Gyokeres is an inspiration at Arsenal, given the hard work he continues to produce in training. Gyokeres' finishing has looked so sharp in Arsenal training, and his finish against Spurs for his first goal is exactly what he's been showing."
Viktor Gyokeres is on the verge of setting a new Arsenal record for goal-scoring in a debut season. With 15 goals after scoring a brace against Tottenham in the North London derby, he trails Alexander Lacazette's 2017/18 record of 17 goals by just two. Gyokeres' performance against Spurs was his best for Arsenal, contributing significantly to a 4-1 victory. Two additional goals would also make him the highest-scoring striker under Mikel Arteta, surpassing Lacazette's 2020/21 tally. Currently Arsenal's leading scorer across all competitions, Gyokeres has demonstrated sharp finishing in training and continues to work hard, earning praise from teammates for his dedication.
