Viktor Gyokeres: Is Arsenal forward struggling to adapt or misused?

While Gyokeres is not scoring at his Sporting rate, he has still contributed to Arsenal being top of the league.

His pressing has forced opponents into errors in dangerous areas that Arsenal could capitalise on while his selfless off-the-ball running has pulled centre-backs out of position and opened up space for his team-mates to score.

Gyokeres and Arsenal will however want more goals.

Adi Viveash, the former assistant manager at the Swede’s former club Coventry City, told Sky Sports: “[Viktor] would get frustrated if he went three or four games without a goal.”

Making him Arsenal’s penalty-taker and talking up his contributions in build-up play outside of his goals might lessen his frustration, but Arsenal may well need to work out how to get more from their £64m striker if they are to win their first title since 2003.
