US EditionArteta Backs Gyokeres to Impact Arsenal's Trophy Charge
After a slow start, Gyokeres has scored eight goals in 2026, helping Arsenal lead the Premier League and compete in three cup tournaments, manager Arteta says.
- In a recent exchange, Arteta said 'he is undoubtedly an incredible striker' and believes Gyokeres can improve further as he adapts to Arsenal and the Premier League.
- Following a difficult start, Gyokeres endured a disappointing time after joining from Sporting Lisbon, but his form has improved as Arsenal sit top of the Premier League and compete in three other competitions.
- Arteta explained the form, saying 'I think one thing leads to another. When you score the first one or the performances are good, you understand the games, the opponent, the league better. Everything helps', to support Gyokeres' recent scoring boost.
- Friday's Champions League draw paired Arsenal with Bayer Leverkusen, and Arteta said 'We are very excited to play the next round, we have earned the right to play here with our performance in the group stage'.
- Arteta expects the 27-year-old to continue improving and potentially increase his impact on Arsenal's trophy push while Manchester City can trim the gap to two points on Saturday.
