"Viktor Gyokeres has enjoyed a mixed start to life as a Gunner but for Thierry Henry, his goalscoring stats do not overly matter as long as the team continues to do well. The Swedish striker arrived at the Emirates last summer for a fee of 55m plus add-ons with the hope that he would be the man to fire Arsenal to the Premier League title after his stunning exploits with Sporting."
"It's always the same thing, Henry said. You want Gyokeres to play well, and he obviously does stretch the team, he makes the runs of a no.9 and he holds the ball up. But what you really want, as an Arsenal fan, is the team to do well and find a way to win. The most important thing is that Mikel Arteta is happy with him."
Thierry Henry backs Viktor Gyokeres despite a mixed start at Arsenal and emphasizes team success over individual goal tallies. Gyokeres joined Arsenal last summer for a reported 55m plus add-ons after a prolific spell with Sporting. The striker has scored six goals in 14 appearances but has struggled at times while Arsenal remain four points clear after 11 games. Henry highlights Gyokeres' ability to stretch the team, make runs of a no.9 and hold the ball up. Gyokeres suffered a hamstring injury on November 1 and is set to miss the North London Derby amid an injury crisis.
