Viktor Gyokeres has not had an easy start to life at Arsenal. The striker’s protracted transfer saga in the summer meant he arrived late for pre-season, and then an injury to Kai Havertz in the opening game of the campaign meant he had to exclusively lead the line for months.

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 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.

Arsenal steps into Wednesday night’s Champions League spotlight without Viktor Gyokeres, as the Premier League leader hosts Bayern Munich in a showdown between two singular giants who have carved identical records into this year’s European table.

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.

The former Gunners midfielder has kept a close eye on Arsenal this season, and Viktor Gyokeres seems to have caught his eye. Despite all the noise from the outside, much of which has been negative, Ramsey believes the Swede is the right man for Mikel Arteta’s side and will come good very soon.

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.
