Arsenal star 'forced' to defend Gyokeres, we have to help him | OneFootball

Bukayo Saka says he is not worried about Viktor Gyokeres’ lack of goals. The player, who has been one of Arsenal’s standout figures under Mikel Arteta, gave an interview to Sky Sports where he discussed the adaptation of the former Sporting player – who recently scored a brace.

“I think that, as a team, last season, we didn’t play with a striker like him. We played with Kai [Havertz], and he’s a different type of player, so we have to try to adapt a bit to his game and help him create a few more chances,” Bukayo Saka began by explaining.

The Arsenal winger continued: “At the same time, I feel like he’s adapting more and more with every game, and he’s playing well, so the goals will come. I’m not worried. I don’t think anyone at the club is worried. He’s a top player.”

Then, Saka also spoke about the chances of winning the Premier League: “I feel that, when you’re an Arsenal player, there’s a constant conversation about where you’ll finish and how you’re playing. Sometimes, I feel like it’s even overanalyzed, but this year, we have a very strong group and a lot of quality. We’ve already suffered a lot with injuries, but the players who have come in have shown that we can all maintain the highest possible level, and that’s what it’s going to take to get there.”

“I think that’s where we slipped up in some seasons, but this year, we’re managing to do it, and that really makes me believe we’ll get there. I’ve been in the title race for three years, and I finished second in all of them. Just realizing that and what I’ve learned is that, at this moment, it’s not that important,” concluded the Arsenal player, teammate of Viktor Gyokeres.
