"'He's not in the league of the three we showed in the previous clip [Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe], far from that,' Shearer said on BBC's Match of the Day, as reported by the Metro. But I think he brings a different strength, there's no doubt that he will have to improve his goalscoring, as you said, he's only got three. But one of his strengths which has suited Arsenal is he actually goes in behind. When he does that it creates space for others to play"
"After netting an incredible 54 goals in 52 games in Portugal, Gyokeres arrived in north London amid huge anticipation. However, his transition to life in the Premier League has proved more challenging than many expected. Gyokeres made an encouraging start to his Arsenal career after his 64 million summer transfer from Sporting, scoring three goals in his first four Premier League appearances."
"But the goals have since dried up, with the 27-year-old failing to score in his last seven matches across all competitions. The frustration grew further during Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Fulham, when Gyokeres missed a golden chance from close range, skying his shot over the bar. Critics have questioned his technical ability and composure in front of goal, with some wondering if he can live up to his hefty price tag."
Viktor Gyokeres scored 54 goals in 52 games at Sporting CP before joining Arsenal for 64 million, creating high expectations. He scored three times in his first four Premier League appearances but has since gone seven matches without a goal across all competitions. A missed close-range chance in a 1-0 win over Fulham intensified criticism over his technique and composure relative to his transfer fee. His tendency to run in behind defenders creates space for teammates, and there remains an expectation that his goalscoring will improve even if it falls short of his previous prolific rate.
