Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres set to be axed for Nottingham Forest clash as worrying stats emerge

The 27 -year -old started the Sweden match against Slovenia during the World Cup qualifications alongside Newcastle Anthony Elaga winger.

The former Newcastle striker and now the Liverpool player Alexander Isak started on the bench and did not come to the competition which finished 2-2.

Gyokerres played 90 minutes against Slovenia in a lack of impact despite the assistance for the goal of Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari.

The most worrying statistics for Arteta will be the amount of lost duels that Gyokerres, with only two duels on the ground won and no duels Ariel won.

Gyokerres was brought to Arsenal as a powerful and a dominant air striker, although this display contradicted this verdict.

Mikel Arteta faces the dilemma of the Nottingham forest

The performance of Gyokerres against Sweden would have concerned Arteta, because the attacker has not yet shown his best form in Arsenal.

Despite two goals against Leeds, Gyokerres has so far failed to meet the high expectations that many thought he would reach.

He is still early in his career in northern London, but Arteta could come out of the gyker from the Nottingham Forest line, although Kai Havertz’s injury strengthens the difficult situation of the manager.

Sweden will face the Kosovo then in the international break before Gyokerers returned to Arsenal, and Arteta hopes that the attacker can find the net in this confrontation.

Arteta needs gyker to be able to direct his charge towards the trophies this season, but there already seems to be a lot of work required to allow it to 20 or more goals.
