Arsenal summer signing Viktor Gyokeres has been warned that he could soon find himself on the bench as Noni Madueke has been backed to replace him.

Gyokeres improved after the break, flashing a header wide and putting another effort just past the post. It was, however, in stark contrast to the impact Gabriel Jesus made off the bench. The Brazilian returned this week from nearly a year out with a knee injury.

Lucky Arsenal were let off the hook in dramatic style as they claimed a 2-1 win against Wolves thanks to two own goals from the Premier League's basement boys, with Yerson Mosquera heading what proved to be the winner past his own keeper Sam Johnstone deep into stoppage time at the Emirates.

Viktor Gyokeres has been subject to some scrutiny after a four-game goal drought, but Mikel Arteta has advised fans to 'let him do what he does best'.

Mikel Arteta's biggest kryptonite on his journey to proving he can be the manager to fix Arsenal's trophy drought has been his striking department. And after the Gunners' 3-0 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday night, it seems everyone is making the same worrying point about Viktor Gyokeres.

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points by labouring to victory over Wolves. The Gunners squeezed past the side sat bottom of the league in a dramatic end to the game at Emirates Stadium. Tolu Arokodare thought he had rescued Wolves a point when he cancelled out Sam Johnstone’s own goal in the 90th minute.

ARSENAL have allegedly Viktor Gyokeres time off to attend court in his homeland. The big-money summer signing was called as a witness in a case that is set to take place in Sweden in 2026.

Mikel Arteta has delivered a clear message to £64 million signing Viktor Gyokeres, insisting that “two things have to merge” for the Swedish striker to thrive at Arsenal. The manager believes both player adaptation and tactical integration are essential as Gyokeres searches for form.

Gabriel Jesus made his return from an 11-month injury layoff on Wednesday as Arsenal beat Club Brugge 3-0, replacing Viktor Gyokeres as a second-half substitute

The jury is just about still out and waiting to deliver its verdict, but the sight of Gabriel Jesus instantly adding a touch of vim and vigour to Arsenal ’s forward line after nearly 12 months out will hardly have aided Viktor Gyokeres and the case for his defence.

Viktor Gyokeres is splitting Arsenal fans between those who believe he is a massive waste of money and his loyal defenders.
