Viktor Gyokeres has struggled since moving to Arsenal, as he has not established himself among the leading strikers in the game in the same way he did during his time at Sporting Club.At the Portuguese club, he scored almost 100 goals in just two seasons and became one of the most prolific forwards in the league. His remarkable scoring record attracted interest from several clubs during the summer of 2025, but he eventually chose Arsenal, who completed the transfer after lengthy negotiations.Gyokeres struggling to make his markIn his first season at Arsenal, Gyokeres failed to reproduce the dominance he had shown in the Portuguese top flight. The difference in standards between the two leagues was evident, and the striker faced a more demanding challenge in England.Gyokeres hoped this season would provide an opportunity to demonstrate his quality and establish himself as a dominant striker in the Premier League. However, he has struggled to secure regular playing time and has not been able to build the momentum he wanted.The situation has led to questions about his performances, with former Arsenal player Armand Traore offering his assessment of the Swedish forward.(Photo by Alex Pantling/Getty Images)Traore questions Gyokeres’ threatTraore said via The Sun:“I played against Drogba many times. My lord. He had such an aura. It stinks of, ‘I’m a leader’. I don’t get that with Gyokeres or Havertz.“If I was to play against Gyokeres I wouldn’t be worried. I was a very, very fast player. He could push it past me but there is no way he is getting past.“Think of Thierry Henry and Gyokeres, it’s day and night. Try to play against Thierry, either way he goes it’s a problem. These players are a problem. Speed kills and I don’t see that Gyokeres is very quick.”For Gyokeres, the challenge is now to respond through his performances and show Arsenal supporters why the club invested heavily in bringing him to the Emirates._____________________________________________________________________________________________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.
