BREAKING NEWS: I used to scored 10+ goals in a week before I came here but right now I’m finding it difficult to record one goal in a month all because of His selfish football,is either they sell Him this January or u find my way out”, Victor Gyokeres reveals the ONE Arsenal player behind His goal drought at Arsenal – Not Ødegaard
Arsenal’s new striker, Victor Gyökeres, has recently opened up about his unexpected goal drought since joining the Gunners. In a candid interview, he attributed part of his struggle to acclimatizing to the Premier League and an inadvertently high standard set by star winger Bukayo Saka.
Gyökeres, a Swedish forward who made headlines with his impressive performances in the Championship, transitioned to Arsenal with high expectations. However, adapting to the pace and intensity of Premier League football has posed challenges for the talented forward. The striker candidly stated, “Every time I step onto the pitch, I look at Bukayo Saka and think, ‘I have to match that level.’ He’s so dynamic, always creating chances and scoring goals. It can be a bit overwhelming.”
Saka, who has been one of Arsenal’s standout players, exemplifies the club’s attacking philosophy and relentless work ethic. His ability to dribble past defenders, deliver precise crosses, and find the back of the net places significant pressure on his teammates, especially newcomers like Gyökeres. The Swedish striker added, “I admire Bukayo’s skill and determination. Sometimes, I find myself trying to emulate him rather than focusing on my own game. That can lead to frustration when things don’t go as planned.”
Moreover, Gyökeres noted that training alongside Saka has been both an inspiring and challenging experience. “You see how hard he works, and it pushes you to elevate your game. You want to impress, but sometimes it leads to trying too hard and overthinking,” the striker explained. This struggle to find the right balance has contributed to his current goal drought, as he tries to find his rhythm.
Despite his initial setbacks, Gyökeres remains optimistic. “I know I just need to take a step back and trust my instincts. I joined Arsenal to make an impact, and I believe it will come. Working with players like Bukayo will help me grow.” His determination reflects the mindset of a player keen on overcoming obstacles and learning from his experiences in a top-flight league.
As Arsenal continues its push for success this season, fans will undoubtedly be hoping to see Gyökeres find his stride soon, potentially channeling the energy and creativity of his teammate, Saka, into goals. With time, both players can align their strengths and take Arsenal to new heights.
