The Swedish forward, who joined from Sporting Lisbon last summer, has endured a mixed debut season in North London. He has netted 18 goals across all competitions, 12 of which have come in the Premier League.
However, his performances beyond that have drawn criticism from certain quarters. Gyökeres may now find himself in further trouble with the Gunners faithful, having sung the praises of two former Spurs strikers. Asked to construct his ultimate striker by TNT Sports, he was quizzed on who possessed the finest finishing ability in world soccer.

Kane has maintained his extraordinary goalscoring form in Germany, netting 136 goals in just three seasons, and was recently crowned Bundesliga champion for the second time, via The Mirror . When it came to first touch, another former Spurs forward came to mind, with Dimitar Berbatov earning the nod.
The Bulgarian arrived at Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2006 and scored 46 goals across two seasons before sealing a transfer to Manchester United. Gyökeres did back himself in one department, however, claiming the penalty-taking crown as his own. He also selected Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe for pace and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for physical strength.
