London –
Viktor Gyokeres was initially expected to be a solution for the attack line. But so far, Gyokeres’ performance has never been perfect.
Gyokeres again failed to score a goal when Arsenal faced Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday (25/1/2026). Played in the 58th minute replacing Gabriel Jesus.
Expected to be able to score goals, Gyokeres instead sluggish. He only made one attempt while he was on the field and did not contribute anything to Arsenal’s attack.

As a result, Arsenal lost 2-3 even though they took the lead in the first half. The seven-point lead at the top was cut to four from Manchester City in second place.
Gyokeres as a new hope apparently has not been able to fulfill it through performance on the field. Since September, Gyokeres has only scored two goals in the Premier League.
Even in the last 11 league matches, Gyokeres has not scored a goal from open play. In fact, in other competitions, Gyokeres was able to score one open play goal each, namely in the Champions League against Inter and in the Carabao Cup against Chelsea.
Gyokeres has only scored nine goals in 27 matches, the sharpest with Gabriel Martinelli. If Gyokeres cleans up his hair more on the field, then Arsenal could suffer losses due to difficulty scoring goals.
Moreover, of Arsenal’s total of 74 goals this season, almost 50 percent were made from set pieces. When can you consistently score goals, Gyokeres?
