Arteta Sets Two-Track Path for Gyokeres as Jesus Returns to Fitness

The manager blames a lost pre-season plus injury for the slow start, promising patience.

Overview

  • Arteta said "two things have to merge"—Gyokeres’ adaptation and Arsenal’s tactical setup—to unlock the £64m signing.
  • He pointed to a missed pre-season and an injury as key factors, adding that momentum is returning and goals should follow.
  • Gyokeres has six goals in 18 appearances, including just one league goal since September, according to the latest reports.
  • Arsenal plan to keep giving the striker minutes, though Gabriel Jesus’ full fitness raises competition for the No. 9 role.
  • Arteta is considering pairing Gyokeres with Jesus after the Swede’s hour-long start in the 3-0 win over Club Brugge.
