Many Arsenal fans have slammed Viktor Gyokeres this season; however, the striker is one of the few players in the squad who has actually won a league title.
Gyokeres has already won two top-flight leagues during his career and knows exactly what it takes to get over the line.
Who from the current top five will Viktor Gyokeres outscore in the Premier League this season? 👀
Following his impressive brace away at Spurs, the striker looked totally composed during his post-match interview, which is exactly what the Gunners need right now.
It was a week of mixed emotions for Mikel Arteta’s team, but it’s very important for the team to never get too high or too low after each result.
Viktor Gyokeres’ title-winning experience could be key for Arsenal
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has already won two league titles during his career, which came at Sporting CP in 2024 and 2025.
The Gunners’ squad is short of players who know how to win right now; therefore, having a player like Gyokeres will actually be so underrated.
In the summer, Andrea Berta was questioned for signing the £63 million striker over other options, but perhaps the thinking was to target players with elite mental attributes.
When he arrived at Arsenal, Gyokeres always backed himself to succeed, and his ability to bounce back from disappointment with a brace against Spurs highlights his strong mindset.
Gyokeres is so well-respected behind the scenes at Arsenal, and whilst many fans will just see his performance, his effect off the pitch could also be key.
After the North London derby, Eberechi Eze said Gyokeres is an inspiration given how hard he works, and the player should take a leaf from his book.
AGREE or DISAGREE: That was Viktor Gyokeres’ best performance in an Arsenal shirt so far…
During the 2023/24 season, the 27-year-old netted an impressive 29 goals in 33 games, before scoring 39 in 33 the following campaign.
This season, goals have been slightly more sparse for him, but he does not look fazed by the challenges which he has faced at the Emirates Stadium.
Declan Rice has recently been labelled ‘too emotional’ due to his burning desire to win the league; meanwhile, Gyokeres always seems so composed.
The Gunners’ players should now be looking to draw on the striker’s experience of winning league titles.
Viktor Gyokeres fires Premier League title warning to Man City
Gyokeres showed little emotion after collecting another three points against Spurs as he fired a warning to Man City in the title race.
The striker insisted that the Gunners have shown Pep Guardiola’s side they need to keep winning games, but also that Arsenal are just focused on their own job.
When asked about what message they have sent City by smashing Spurs, Gyokeres said: “I think that they also need to win games, but as you said, there are still ten games to go and a lot of points, so we just have to focus on the next one, and all those boring things we say.”
