Arsenal allowed “one of the best players of the last 15 years” to leave for £0

Arsenal I have gone from strength to strength under Mikel Artetaclub management, and there is a feeling that this year will be as good as any as they look to win their first top-flight title in two decades.

Seven games in Premier League In the new season, the Gunners have picked up the pace, picking up 16 points out of a possible 21. Liverpool is one point behind after successive defeats.

New manager Andrea Berta has brought in some exciting summer signings, in particular, Martin Zobemendi and Back seat You caught the eye.

But the striker, who is worth £60 million, Victorleaves something to be desired, having become a sensation after reaching incredible heights in Portugal with two-time champions Sporting Lisbon in a row.

Victor Gyukiris’ Arsenal career so far

Geokeris, at the very least, knows where the back of the net is. However, his performance during the first weeks of the campaign was not that good,

Sky Sports critic Gary Neville He described him as a “battering ram” who can “beat smaller teams”, but there is a feeling that he may have work to do when facing teams of an ostensibly higher technical level.

The 27-year-old’s frustrations are not limited to the domestic front, having overcome his first two Champions League outings as an Arsenal player. During these matches against Athletic Bilbao and Olympiacos, he missed three big chances (data provided by Sofascore).

It is certainly worth emphasizing that we are only two months into the campaign. There is plenty of time for this powerful goalscorer to continue adjusting to life as a top-level Premier League goalscorer.

As Neville hinted, the contrast between the ‘misfit’ Gyokeris and the more technically fluid attacking teammates around him is not necessarily a bad thing, but he will need to hone his all-round link-up play.

After all, Gyokeris has the talent to be Arsenal’s best striker in many years, although whether he takes the cake when looking at position rivals over the past ten years or so is questionable.

In fact, there is a veteran striker who, after leading the line at the Emirates Stadium, has started the season stronger than Arteta’s new central striker.

Ex-Arsenal side beats Geukeris

Geukeris isn’t exactly a spring chicken, but then Arsenal have signed strikers with a more mature status in the past – and that has certainly had an impact at that.

Just look at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangwho arrived from Borussia Dortmund for £56m in January 2018 and scored 92 goals in just 163 appearances for Arsenal, also making 21 goals.

The Gabonese striker may have left the club somewhat unceremoniously, but he has made his mark on the Arteta era, having provided the Spaniard’s only chip, scoring four goals in the closing stages of the 2019/20 FA Cup.

In fact, just months after Arteta took charge at Emirates, Aubameyang rose to the occasion in the semi-final at Wembley and scored twice to defeat Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Despite reaching the midpoint of the season in 2019/20, Aubameyang has made significant progress in the Premier League, scoring ten goals in 13 matches before scoring 22 consecutive goals in the Premier League.

He was 28 when he first arrived at the north London club, and has had a busy career in the years since he left. In fact, playing for Marseille this season, 36-year-old Aubameyang has registered four goals and three assists in seven matches in all competitions this year.

Remarkably, he outperforms his central rival in Jeuqueris, who is almost nine years his junior, and has scored 97 goals over two seasons in Portugal, including a hat-trick over Manchester City in the Champions League last year.

When looking at Arsenal’s top scorers in the Premier League, year on year, since Aubameyang last played a successful season at the club, it is clear to see that fans and pundits were on the money when they noted that a lack of quality in the final third was holding back a top-level attacking team.

With three goals in his first seven Premier League appearances, it has not been a bad start by any means. But Gyokeris left something to be desired with his performance, certainly, having missed four big chances and averaging less than six passes per game with a completion rate of 56%.

There may be three goals under his belt in the Premier League, but Gyokeris still needs to find another gear if he is to rival and surpass Aubameyang as the club’s best striker in many years.

Whether he has crossed the 22-goal mark this season is open to question, but Arteta will no doubt expect more from his expensive summer signing, especially when considering Aubameyang, and how he still uses his movement and positioning to score goals with a consistency and ferocity that belies his age.

Sky Sports journalist Dougie Critchley He marveled at how “one of the best players of the last 15 years” still commands attention on the big stage.

Given that Aubameyang is still out-performing the Swede for Marseille this season, debate still remains as to how well Gyokeris fits into a team that looks every bit the title-challenging force it has been expected to perform as it has over the past few years.
