Arsenal’s friendly vs. Milan shows why Viktor Gyokeres could be the Gunners’ missing piece

After the second in the Premier League for the third consecutive season, it is now or never for Arsenal To take the next step and win the competition, and their additions outside the season have supported that. Noni Madueke, Martin Bright” Christian NorgaardAnd Cheap Arrizabalaga joined and their great catch from Viktor Gyokeres finally arrived on Saturday.

They will give a new look to the Mikel Arteta team by bringing the ability to control the property more than they already do, rest Bukayo fromAnd bring the striker the attack for.

We got the first look at some of those signing sessions in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Milan to start their preseason on the right foot. It was certainly a match that resembled a pre -season -friendly, in which both parties shaked the rust while Arsenal struggled to pass the wall that is a maximum allegri defense, and emphasized the urgent need for the striker she could push over the top, and just as important in giving away teams instead of hanging around.

Statistics are not the end of everything in the preseason, but when they want to break down a solid defense, the Gunners need more, so they took on Gyokees in the first place. Arsenal took 23 shots and to put nine on goal for an XG of 1.78, struggling to pass the defense of Milan until Saka found the moment.

But Arsenal knows what they have in Saka and Martin Odegaard At their best, two dynamic players who can make and score, but it has only been enough to get them in second place in the competition. It is the upgrade on the Gabriel Jesus And Kai Havertz Spots in the Line -Up, which produce 22 goals and six assists, who can turn them from the almost men of the Premier League into champions. Gyokeres was able to score 39 goals in the Portuguese top flight alone, and even half of them could be enough in their pursuit of glory.

In the Champions League, where Arsenal, despite Havertz and Havertz, all went to the semi -final and Jesus Just four goals at their run, they may have passed PSG with Gyokeres who leads the line, rather than falling into the semi -final. He scored six goals in just eight games for sport, while also contributing to the press to keep teams in possession. The Wednesday game again showed the need for a hunter in the box to make those near-post runs and to be in the right place at the right time to turn the tide.

If he retains Jcan his production level, it only makes players like Saka more dangerous, while Ben White can even become more involved in the attack. Add Madueke’s dribbling and casual creation, and it comes to a point where you can claim that this season will have the most talented Arsenal team under Arteta.

It means nothing if it doesn’t bring trophies, but while the Gunners have gone at their low season, the attacks of the players for which they went are clear. Norgaard and Zubimendi bring experienced presence in midfield, Madueke brings a way to cut the defense, while Gyokees should bring the goals, and therefore possibly much, much more.
