Ian Wright expects Gyokeres to keep scoring in remaining games
Ian Wright expects Gyokeres to keep scoring in remaining games Ian Wright has expressed his admiration for Viktor Gyokeres after the striker surpassed the 20-goal mark in his first season as an Arsenal player. The forward’s performances have attracted significant attention, with the Gunners eager for him to maintain his scoring form as the campaign progresses. Mikel Arteta’s side signed Gyokeres from Sporting Club in the summer , bringing him in with high expectations following an impressive spell in Portugal.
During his two seasons at the club, he established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in European football, which naturally increased the scrutiny surrounding his move to Arsenal. Strong debut season impact Despite the pressure, Gyokeres has begun to justify the faith placed in him. His display against Fulham was particularly notable , as he scored twice and could have completed a hat trick during an outstanding first-half performance.
His movement, finishing, and overall presence caused significant problems for Fulham’s defence, especially when combined with the attacking threat of Bukayo Saka. The Portuguese club had reportedly received interest from other teams willing to offer a higher fee, but Gyokeres was determined to join Arsenal. His decision is now appearing well-founded, as he continues to demonstrate his ability to perform at the highest level.
Wright’s assessment and expectations As reported by Premier League Productions , Wright highlighted both Gyokeres’ contribution and the ongoing discussion surrounding his role. He said, “I’ve said for many, many years that we need a striker. We get the striker, and then people say ‘he’s not good enough’.
The fact that people are still talking about him says, ‘why, you’ve got one? ’. 21 goals, 12 in the Premier League, says he’s done the job for us.
