Mikel Arteta warned Arsenal’s rivals about Viktor Gyokeres, who could be difficult to defend against if given space. The forward scored his first goal for Arsenal in a pre-season match against Athletic Club, helping secure a 3-0 victory. Gyokeres has high expectations following his successful stint in Portugal, and Arteta emphasized his instinctive play as a key to his scoring ability. Gyokeres' movement troubled the opponent’s defense, and his partnership with Bukayo Saka showed potential for the upcoming Premier League season.
Mikel Arteta emphasized that Viktor Gyokeres is a natural instinctive player who has scored prolifically due to his ability to exploit any given space. He added that Gyokeres is a real threat to defenders, explaining that 'when you leave him with space 1v1 he will destroy you,' highlighting his knack for scoring under pressure.
In his debut match, Gyokeres made an immediate impact by scoring a header from Martín Zubimendi's cross, showcasing his movement and link-up play, which troubled the opposition's defense throughout the game.
Arteta expressed confidence in Gyokeres' partnership with other players, particularly noting how Saka assisted when he provided a goal for Havertz, indicating a strong attacking synergy for Arsenal this upcoming season.
