US Edition"We Wouldn’t Be Where We Are without Him" - Declan Rice Believes One Arsenal Star Is Doing 'Unbelievably Well' Amid External Criticism
Declan Rice credits Viktor Gyökeres' tactical play for Arsenal's Premier League lead despite his nine-match open-play goal drought this season, vital to ending a 22-year title wait.
- Declan Rice praised Viktor Gyökeres for being one of the best strikers and said Arsenal would not be top without him, dispelling criticism of his goal drought.
- After his move, Gyökeres' scoring drop is notable: he has four league goals in 18 appearances and seven in all competitions this season, compared with 97 in 102 matches for Sporting CP.
- In the Bournemouth game, Gyökeres' run pulled four defenders away, and Declan Rice returned from injury to score twice in Arsenal's 3-2 win.
- However, Gyökeres faces immediate pressure after his open-play goal drought extended to nine matches when he was withdrawn, while team-mates defended him, saying `Trust me, he's doing unbelievably for us`.
- With the title chase tight, Arsenal now face big questions in the January transfer window as the Bournemouth win brings them closer to ending a 22-year wait for a league title.
