Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has expressed concerns over Viktor Gyokeres’ pace as a potential signing for the Gunners. While acknowledging the Swedish striker’s impressive goal-scoring record, Keown believes Gyokeres may lack the necessary speed for the Premier League. He even joked that Gyokeres wouldn’t have been quick enough for him during his playing days.
Keown also emphasized the need for Arsenal to sign a new striker, stating that the current options need to start scoring goals or manager Mikel Arteta will be forced to invest in a forward during the January transfer window.
While Gyokeres’ prolific scoring rate makes him an attractive option for many fans, Keown suggests that there might be better alternatives available, particularly players with more experience in Europe’s top leagues. He mentions Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko as potential options.
