- The £63m signing has three goals in ten Arsenal appearances and is now over 600 minutes without scoring for club or country.
- Sweden’s home defeat to Kosovo prompted scathing domestic reviews of Gyökeres’ touch and influence, with the team six points off a play-off place.
- Pundits including Chris Waddle, Joleon Lescott and Ben Foster questioned his fit and ceiling for a title push, despite acknowledging his work rate.
- Inside-Arsenal briefings say Gyökeres adds a new dimension up front, and team-mate Cristhian Mosquera praised his physical impact in training.
- Bukayo Saka has been restored as penalty taker, potentially trimming Gyökeres’ scoring opportunities, while upcoming fixtures starting at Fulham offer chances to reset form.
