Gyokeres under fire in England, ex-Sporting star eyed by Arsenal | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres has been criticized by Glenn Hoddle. After Arsenal beat West Ham 2-0 and took the lead in the Premier League, the former Sporting forward once again failed to score, continuing his goal drought. As such, the former English striker believes the Gunners have everything they need to become champions, with the Nordic player being the biggest doubt in the squad.

“Arteta has the weapons to win the Premier League, there's no doubt about that. They have good defenders, they know how to defend as a team and they also have offensive and creative players. The only missing link at the moment is a number nine who can put the ball in the back of the net time and time again. Gyokeres might end up like this, I don't know. I think that's the only question mark,” he told Premier League Productions.

It's worth remembering that the recent performances of Arsenal's 'number 14' have been a topic of conversation in Mike Arteta's press conferences. Despite not being able to score, he believes his protégé is improving day by day: “We want him to score goals, but if he doesn't, at least he should do everything he's been doing for the team, because he's helping a lot”

Despite his goal drought, Viktor Gyokeres has once again earned the trust of the Swedish national team coach, who has called him up for the World Cup qualifying matches. Before joining the Nordic delegation, the former Lions forward took the opportunity to watch the match between Sporting and Braga, thus returning to the Alvalade Stadium for the first time since he forced his departure from the Club.
