Gyökeres fails to convince: 27 minutes at Arsenal

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo7 September 2026 at 21:52

Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres failed to impress Arsenal's coaching staff during his short spell at the club, having accumulated only 27 minutes of playing time in service of the Gunners. This reduced playing time raised questions about his ability to adapt to the demands of the English Premier League.

Kai Havertz continues to be Mikel Arteta's priority choice for the striker position, remaining as the first option in attack for the London club. The German has been the Spanish coach's preferred option throughout the season.

The article suggests that Gyökeres failed to convince during his time at Arsenal, which likely contributed to his limited use by the club. This situation contrasts with the expectations that could exist around a striker with the Swedish player's profile.
