- Arteta said the striker’s output depends on quicker, more precise service into the area, calling it a collaboration between Gyokeres and his teammates.
- Analysts note Arsenal’s wide-first build-up limits central deliveries, with Leandro Trossard’s cameo link-up offering a rare glimpse of the service Gyokeres needs.
- Gabriel Jesus has returned from injury, Kai Havertz is nearing availability, and Mikel Merino has impressed as a false nine, increasing competition for the role.
- Olivier Giroud publicly backed Gyokeres to come good, while Jamie Carragher questioned whether he can become Arsenal’s first-choice striker, as Ruben Amorim’s past guidance stressed playing him into space.
