Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has set club striker Viktor Gyokeres a huge goal target for his debut season in England. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he believes Gyokeres has what it takes to score 30 or 40 goals per season, especially with quality creators like Odegaard creating the chances for him.
Martinelli added that the team trusts the former Sporting CP forward to deliver the goods in front of goal this season.
His words, “We are really happy with him. We trust him. We know his qualities and he’s one of the top strikers in the world right now. We trust him and we are trying to give him the confidence to score and to do his best on the pitch to help us.
It’s really good to play with Martin [Odegaard] there because he’s always trying to find you, when we make the movement. And for Viktor as well, his qualities, he likes to go in behind and attack the opposition’s box. So, I think him playing with Martin as well is going to be good for him. We are going to try to give him the ball as much as possible to make him score, I don’t know, 30 or 40 goals a season.”
