Gyokeres is expected to be the upfront monster- the Swedish battering ram who feeds off goalkeepers. Rather he is beginning to resemble a vegetarian in a steakhouse. Arsenal is lying on the top of the premier league, but their new golden boy is yet to get his shooting shoes on. Three goals all season? For a man who scored for fun in Portugal, that’s like watching Picasso forget how to hold a brush.
Yet, as according to sources, Mikel Arteta isn’t sweating bullets. In fact, he’s the picture of calm. The Spaniard told his striker before the season even began: “If you can’t survive eight games without scoring, Arsenal isn’t for you.” Talk about tough love with a side of tactical philosophy.
Gyokeres Still Brings the Chaos Arsenal Needs
Let’s be real—goals are only half the job. Gyokeres may be missing sitters, but he’s dragging defenders around like it’s a strength-training session. The man creates space, presses like a caffeinated hyena, and still manages to make life easier for Saka and Martinelli. Sure, his finishing has gone on vacation, but his work rate remains first-class. Even his critics grudgingly admit he’s doing everything but scoring.

Here’s the thing—strikers live and die by confidence. And right now, Gyokeres looks like he’s trying to solve calculus every time he shoots. But these droughts don’t last forever. Once that first scruffy goal trickles in, the floodgates will open. Arteta knows it. The fans should too. Arsenal’s system thrives on rhythm, and Gyokeres is still in tune—just missing the beat for now.
So relax, Arsenal fans. Viktor Gyokeres isn’t broken. He’s just… buffering.His next upload might just break the internet—and the Premier League.And when it does, everyone will pretend they never doubted him for a single second, as always happens in football.
