Despite targeting another striker, Arsenal are ready to back Gyokeres for another season after he managed 21 goals in his debut campaign.
The 27-year-old is not the prettiest striker to watch play football; however, he is effective and was key in ending Arsenal’s 22-year wait for the title.
Gyokeres and Sweden are next in action on Saturday against the Netherlands in what should be a much tougher test.
