"Arsenal legend David Seaman has praised summer signing Viktor Gyokeres for getting better as he's gone on after two goals against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League this week. The Sweden international arrived at Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon this summer with a big reputation, having scored a frankly ridiculous 97 goals in 102 games in his two years in Portugal."
"That's something that a lot of players, especially the foreign guys, when they first come, they find it really difficult to get used to the pace and the physicality. As we've seen, Gyokeres loves a bit of physical action in there so give him time. He is getting better and better, he's getting fitter and fitter and I'm sure there's going to be more goals."
Viktor Gyokeres scored twice against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and has shown improvement since joining Arsenal. The Sweden international joined from Sporting Lisbon after scoring 97 goals in 102 games over two seasons. He has scored five goals in his first twelve Arsenal appearances. Gyokeres has received praise for his work rate, physicality and adaptation to team-mates and Premier League pace. Observers note he is getting fitter and improving match by match and is likely to score many more goals. The Premier League represents a step up from Portugal and many foreign players take time to settle.
