Viktor Gyokeres has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for February after the striker produced a strong run of performances during the month.It marked one of his most productive periods in an Arsenal shirt after a difficult campaign in front of goal for much of the season. Despite those struggles, Mikel Arteta has continued to place his trust in the Swedish forward, frequently highlighting the other contributions he brings to the team beyond simply scoring.The Arsenal manager has often pointed to Gyokeres’ physical presence, movement, and work rate as valuable qualities within the squad. Even when goals have been limited, those attributes have ensured he remained an important option in the team.Arteta’s Faith in His StrikerGyokeres arrived at Arsenal with a strong reputation after enjoying impressive form in previous seasons. Over the last few terms, he established himself as one of the most powerful and effective forwards in European football, yet his first year at Arsenal has not unfolded as many expected.That inconsistency led to calls from some supporters for Gabriel Jesus to be introduced as the club’s starting striker instead. However, Arteta consistently backed Gyokeres, expressing confidence that the forward would rediscover his scoring touch and play a decisive role for the team.February Form Sparks RecognitionThe month of February proved to be a turning point for the striker. Gyokeres rewarded the faith shown in him by delivering four goals in four league appearances, providing a major boost to Arsenal’s attacking output.During that period, the Gunners secured victories against Tottenham and Sunderland, while also earning draws against Brentford and Wolves. Those results ensured the team remained unbeaten throughout the month, with Gyokeres’ goals playing a key part in maintaining that record.According to Arsenal Media, Gyokeres has now been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for February, alongside several other standout performers from across the league. The nomination reflects his resurgence and recognises the impact he made during an important period of the campaign for Arsenal._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
