Viktor Gyökeres Defends His Form Amid Criticism

Viktor Gyökeres is in good form, according to Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson, who insists critics don't have a clue about football. The Gunners paid up to £64 million to sign Gyökeres this summer, after he struck 97 goals in 102 games for the Portuguese side.

What's behind the criticism?

Gyökeres is enduring a six-game dry streak in front of goal, prompting some to question his impact on Arsenal. But Tomasson has no interest in entertaining such criticism, citing Gyökeres's ability to create space for other players. He works on the ball and makes runs, which is excellent, and he scores goals almost all the time.

How does Gyökeres's teammates see him?

Bukayo Saka assured fans there are no concerns among the Arsenal squad about Gyökeres's involvement in games. Saka thinks Viktor's playing really well, and there's no doubt he's going to score goals. What he's bringing to this team, us as his teammates, we're so grateful for what he does.

What's next for Gyökeres?

Gyökeres will look to end his dry streak and prove his critics wrong, with Arsenal's next fixture just around the corner. Tomasson's comments will be a boost to Gyökeres's confidence, as he looks to make an impact on the pitch. And with Saka's backing, Gyökeres can focus on his game, knowing he has the support of his teammates. Gyökeres's goals will come, and when they do, Arsenal will be a formidable force in the Premier League. The Sweden international has already shown his quality, with three Premier League goals to his name, and he will be looking to add to that tally soon.
