Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that he is happy with Viktor Gyökeres’ performances this season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is very pleased with what the Sweden international has given the team since he joined this summer, and he expects him to handle the pressure that comes with the shirt.
Arteta added that he sees his striker scoring more goals as the chances increase in the coming weeks.
“He brings so much to the team and watching the games back, I’m very pleased with what he’s given to the team.
I told him before the first meeting, I said, ‘the nine that I want is a nine that when he doesn’t score for six or eight games, he can handle that. If not, you have to go somewhere else because the pressure is on, the expectation is going to be there. So, if you put it on a nine shirt on for Arsenal, you have to be able to say, ‘OK, six games, don’t score. Am I’m a different player, I start to act in a different way?’
I want much more of the same of what he’s doing. Once we have those opportunities, I’m sure it’s going to happen.”
WOW.
