""Gyokeres is in very good form at the moment and is very good," Tomasson told reporters. "If people say he doesn't have an impact [on matches], then they don't understand football and don't have a clue about football. "He creates space for other players, works on the ball and makes runs. It's excellent, and he scores goals almost all the time, so he has an impact and has been very good. "It's always nice, as you need time when you come to a new club.""
""Of players to attempt 15 or more shots in the top-flight in 2025, Gyokeres' expected goals (xG) total of 3.1 is a total only bettered by Manchester City's Erling Haaland (7.8) and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo (3.6), proving he is getting the chances to score. And though only Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago (both four), Semenyo (six) and Haaland (nine) have scored more goals than the Swede in the Premier League this term, some onlookers have questioned if he is having a negative impact on the Arsenal team.""
Viktor Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting CP for a reported £63.5m and has scored three goals in 10 appearances across all competitions. Gyokeres has gone six matches without a goal since scoring in a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Gyokeres' expected goals (xG) of 3.1 among players with 15+ Premier League shots is only bettered by Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo, indicating frequent scoring opportunities. Gyokeres recorded 39 goals in 2024-25, the most across Europe's top 10 leagues and eight more than Kylian Mbappe. Some observers question his impact, while defenders point to his movement, ball work and chance creation.
