Mikel Arteta bet on Gyokeres to come good while pointing at Zubimendi's excellent debut season with the Gunners

Mikel Arteta has backed Viktor Gyokeres following his performance against Wolves, instead pointing to the failures of other Arsenal players. The Gunners secured a dramatic 2-1 victory, with all three goals arriving in the closing stages and the winner coming deep into stoppage time.

Arsenal summer signing Viktor Gyokeres has been warned that he could soon find himself on the bench as Noni Madueke has been backed to replace him.

Gyokeres improved after the break, flashing a header wide and putting another effort just past the post. It was, however, in stark contrast to the impact Gabriel Jesus made off the bench. The Brazilian returned this week from nearly a year out with a knee injury.

Aaron Ramsey singled out Gabriel Jesus for special praise after Arsenal’s nervy 2-1 defeat of winless Wolves, saying it was great to see the forward produce a ‘brilliant’ cameo performance.

Six goals in 18 appearances was not the impact Arsenal were expecting from summer signing Viktor Gyokeres but manager Mikel Arteta is confident the Swede will come good.

Mikel Arteta's biggest kryptonite on his journey to proving he can be the manager to fix Arsenal's trophy drought has been his striking department. And after the Gunners' 3-0 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday night, it seems everyone is making the same worrying point about Viktor Gyokeres.

ARSENAL have allegedly Viktor Gyokeres time off to attend court in his homeland. The big-money summer signing was called as a witness in a case that is set to take place in Sweden in 2026.

Arsenal steps into Wednesday night’s Champions League spotlight without Viktor Gyokeres, as the Premier League leader hosts Bayern Munich in a showdown between two singular giants who have carved identical records into this year’s European table.
