Arteta worried as Gyokeres’ goal drought continues: it showed today | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres' goal drought was a topic of conversation at Mikel Arteta's press conference. Despite Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Olympiacos last Wednesday, October 1st, in a Champions League match, the former Sporting player once again failed to score, something that has already been addressed by the Spanish coach.

"What I feel is that he is doing better things with each passing game. Today, he was denied several times. In one instance, it was due to blocks, and in another, he hit the post, but I think that, overall, his performance was exceptional," said the Gunners' coach at the press conference.

Subsequently, Mikel Arteta highlighted the work Viktor Gyokeres did for the team during the match: "Once again, his work rate was quite good, and yes, we want him to score goals, but if he doesn't, at least he should do everything he has been doing for the team, because he is helping a lot."

"I think we have to play according to our qualities, and when we have players up front who also have speed, with that 'timing' in their runs, who can activate just that, we have to make the most of them, 100%. He did that against Newcastle, and that's the kind of game I want from him," concluded the Spanish coach.
