"I'm confident because I ask our defenders a lot of times, when they have to train against our players, how [they] feel about that. That's a really good way to understand the quality of a player or how it is to defend against them."
"I worked with Viktor with Brighton's Under-23 team and saw him come through to the first team there [in 2018]. He adds a degree of physicality and pace to stretch the game in behind. He's starting to build his confidence and showing he can score goals, which is what every striker wants to do."
Viktor Gyokeres has faced criticism since his £54.8 million transfer from Sporting in July, but the 27-year-old striker is now on an impressive run of eight goals in 12 matches across all competitions. Mikel Arteta describes Gyokeres as "incredible" and confirms he is "on the right trajectory." The striker scored twice in Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Tottenham last Sunday. Arteta expresses confidence in Gyokeres' quality, noting that defenders' feedback during training sessions demonstrates his caliber. Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior, who has lost two EFL Cup matches to Arsenal since his January appointment, previously worked with Gyokeres at Brighton's Under-23 level and acknowledges the striker's physicality, pace, and growing confidence in front of goal.
