Arsenal told they should be alarmed by Viktor Gyokeres with major flaw highlighted in Liverpool defeat
The summer signature of 63.7 million pounds Sterling has not yet made its mark in English football and had trouble in the defeat of the Gunners 1-0 against Liverpool on Sunday.
5A superb free kick from Dominik Szoboszlai in the 83rd minute was enough to win the Reds every three points in Anfield.
How did Viktor Gyokerers perform against Liverpool?
It saw Mikel Arteta’s team undergoing its first defeat of the season, and it was a day to forget for Gyokerres.
The Swedish did not record a single shot in 90 minutes and only made five assists on a total of seven attempts.
He also had the least touches from any starter, managing only 17 years old, while winning none of his three air duels.
Until now, the only goals from Gyokerres for Arsenal have reached a 5-0 battery from Leeds, while it was largely anonymous in a 1-0 victory against Manchester United in their first Premier League match.
It is far from being the beginning of the life he would have liked in the north of London, having been brought to the club in the hope that he would answer their calls to a proven scorer.
Gyokerres scored near 87 goals all competitions for the former Sporting Lisbon club during two seasons in Portugal.
What does Alan Pardew of Gyoker do?
And the former Charlton, Crystal Palace and the Manager of Newcastle, Pardew, believes that the alarms should already ring on the leader’s first displays for the Gunners.
Speaking after Liverpool’s confrontation on Talksport’s “The Final Word”, he said: “Can I tell you what I would be concerned if I was an arsenal fan? Gyoker.
“I look at him thinking:” I want a little more of you.

5Pardew underlined the attacker’s lack of rhythm as a concern and said he looked less mobile than during his last fate in England with Coventry.
Before joining Sporting in 2023, Gyokerres experienced two solid years in the championship, scoring 38 goals in the championship in 91 games.
But Pardew believes that he has not yet highlighted his forces in the Premier League, because he continued: “I come back, Sporting Lisbon is different because it is a different type of culture, right?
“And Sporting Lisbon is an excellent team, and he was always going to get goals there. But when he was in Coventry, he quickly looked on the side of the field – like the good fast.
“And now in the Premier League, he didn’t look fast today, right?”
“There were times when he had to walk and did not spend the central defenders.

5Pardew has finished: “It’s a concern, I think, if this child will have to intensify and be this new number that Arsenal has been waiting for three years.
“So there is a lot of pressure on him. I really hope he cracks him, but I thought today that he was silent.”
Gykerres hopes to find some form during the international break, while he joined the Swedish team for their World Cup qualifications in Slovenia and Kosovo.
The 27 -year -old will then try to launch his career as Gunners when he returned to the Premier League against Nottingham Forest on September 13, before his first Champions League was released in Athletic Bilbao three days later.
