Viktor Gyokeres’ former coaches and team-mates have spoken out in glowing terms about the qualities — both on and off the pitch — that the Swedish striker will bring to Arsenal. As the Gunners gear up for another title push, those who have worked closely with Gyokeres believe his arrival could be a decisive factor in ending the club’s long Premier League drought.
Described as a relentless worker with a clinical eye for goal, Gyokeres has also been praised for his professionalism, humility, and leadership in the dressing room. Ex-colleagues point to his ability to lift team-mates’ performances through his work ethic and never-say-die attitude, while also highlighting his adaptability in different tactical systems.
For Mikel Arteta, the signing represents more than just an injection of firepower — it’s a move to strengthen the team’s mentality and resilience in high-pressure moments. Arsenal fans, already excited by his goal-scoring record, will now have even more reason to believe they have secured a player capable of making a major impact in the pursuit of silverware.
