He was substituted after 60 minutes, failed to register a shot on target, and delivered a poor cross from a promising position. Although he showed strength and pressing ability, his overall performance left fans wanting more.
Ljungberg’s Viktor Gyokeres Goals Prediction
Freddie Ljungberg, speaking to ViaPlay, expressed confidence in Gyokeres’ potential. The former Arsenal winger said:
“It was a tough day at work for him… But you can see he has it in him, so I’m not worried. I think he will be around 20 goals this season if he breaks the zero early.”
Ljungberg acknowledged the difficulty of adapting from the Portuguese league to the Premier League but remained optimistic.
Experts Say Gyokeres Needs Time
Roy Keane, speaking on Sky Sports, agreed that Gyokeres needs time to adjust. He noted that physically strong players often take longer to reach peak form.
Ian Wright also weighed in, suggesting that a 10–15 goal season would still be a success. He praised Gyokeres’ mentality and hunger to succeed.
What’s Next for Gyokeres?
Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures include matches against Leeds United and Liverpool. These games could offer Gyokeres the chance to find his rhythm and prove Ljungberg’s prediction right.
If Arsenal can provide better service and adapt their system, Gyokeres may become the focal point of their attack.
