Mikel Arteta is said to be ready to change the look of his Arsenal attack with a new lineup. Meanwhile, it is also reported by our sources that Viktor Gyokeres is struggling to get used to the lifestyle following his expensive transfer.
Gyokeres Gamble Backfires Early
After Viktor Gyokeres has not really justified his expensive £85m price tag, Mikel Arteta is giving some big hints about a few changes up front at Arsenal. The Swedish player was a great delight for Arsenal to get, but he has not been able to fit into the team easily. This has led Arteta to rethink his offensive play.
It looks like Arsenal is trying to find a way to improve their goal-scoring as they are in a close title race. Gyokeres not firing from the start has made it clear that the team might have to consider getting some new players or changing their style of play if they want to score more. Arteta is now concentrating on the perfect way to get the Arsenal team to be the ones to win.
Context: High Hopes Meet Reality
After Arsenal had concluded that Gyokeres might be their optimal striker, the club really went after him. However, they have had more trouble than expected getting him settle. Now that he’s not scoring, some fans are starting to invoke the memory of the time when Aubameyang’s tenure at Arsenal ended that way simply because he stopped scoring.
Arteta says that Arsenal has very strong personnel, and they have many talented players, but he also said that it is not easy to figure out how to use all those good players at the same time in a game.
The excitement at the time when they got Gyokeres was really something you could almost touch. Armed with Gyokeres, Arteta and Arsenal’s management thought they had found the missing link of the forward line. The lack of goals has inevitably led to comparisons with Aubameyang, who experienced a similar dip in form before his departure from Arsenal.
There are talented attacking players at Arsenal, such as Saka, Martinelli, and Odegaard. However, it has been difficult to get these players to work together as a team.
Key Stats:
- Gyokeres: 2 goals in 12 starts (0.17 xG overperformance)
- Arsenal conversion: 9% drop post-arrival
- Jesus assists: 4 in Gyokeres starts
Main Story of Arsenal & Viktor Gyokeres Saga: The New Strikeforce Unleashed
Arteta desires a smooth, three-player front line where Gyokeres is the center, with Jesus going wide and Saka being an inverted one—giving up the traditional No. 9 for the one who creates chaos. “Very difficult… but I am very happy,” Arteta says, implying the rotation of players as a try. Trossard’s role as a false nine comes to the fore, and Kai Havertz goes deep and links with the midfield. Gyokeres changes his pressing work while Jesus takes advantage of the spaces—thus the team is reversing their recent 1.1 goals/game average. The training video is evidence of the team being very dynamic in their positions, and these changes are aim at Liverpool’s high line next.
