Arteta Tells Gyokeres To Be More Decisive After Forest Stalemate as Calls Grow to Start Jesus

The £64m signing has five league goals, heightening selection scrutiny from high-profile pundits.

Overview

  • Arsenal were held 0-0 at Nottingham Forest despite controlling play and taking 15 shots, extending Viktor Gyokeres’ lean spell.
  • Mikel Arteta said he wants players to be "decisive" at this level after Gyokeres failed to score again, emphasizing the need to convert chances.
  • Gyokeres was substituted after 57 minutes and has one Premier League goal in his last ten appearances for the club.
  • Micah Richards urged Arteta to start Gabriel Jesus and give Gyokeres a brief reset on the bench, with Gary Lineker agreeing and Alan Shearer highlighting a tame one‑on‑one with Murillo.
  • Analysis points to adaptation and a disrupted pre-season as factors in his form, while some media commentary speculates about a potential early sale if performances do not improve.
