Gyokeres scores, but some still doubt ex-Sporting man: "Even I would" | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres has recently stood out in England, after scoring two goals in Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Tottenham, in the 27th round of the Premier League. Despite his performance, the former Sporting striker has not yet achieved unanimity among experts.

Gabriel Agbonlahor, former England international and Aston Villa icon, commented on the player's achievement, downplaying the impact: "I thought Gyokeres did very well, but what I would say is that against Tottenham, even I and Ally McCoist. Still, can we see this every week from now on?" he questioned on talkSPORT.

Olivia Buzaglo partially agreed with Agbonlahor, emphasizing that the caliber of the teams Gyokeres scored against influences the analysis: "The teams he scored against were Leeds United, Burnley, Sunderland, and Tottenham. Now, I want to see him score in the game against Man City in April. And I want to see him in the League Cup final in March," the presenter stated.

On the other hand, Ally McCoist, former Rangers icon, completely disagreed with the criticism: "Calm down, everyone, okay? He has just started scoring goals. You say 'We are not satisfied with him scoring goals, we want him to score against better teams.' Is that where we are? I think he has been absolutely fine," he said, praising the striker's consistency.

The former Scottish player also highlighted the Swede's development beyond scoring, valuing intelligence and movement: "I think he will continue to improve and I don't think he will be a starter in every game under Arteta. I just thought that, besides the goals, his movements and game intelligence were generally much better," McCoist concluded.
