Mikel Arteta lauded Viktor Gyokeres’ professional attitude and team-first approach following the striker’s decisive two-goal performance against Sunderland.
Following Arsenal’s 3-0 triumph, Mikel Arteta singled out summer signing Viktor Gyokeres for his transformative impact off the bench.
The Swedish international’s clinical finishing killed off the game, but it was his work ethic that most impressed his manager.
Arteta highlighted that the striker’s selfless attitude has been a key driver in the Gunners’ ability to maintain their lead at the Premier League summit.
The Arsenal boss emphasized that Gyokeres’ success stems from his daily application on the training ground.
“I love his character, the way he approaches every single day, and the fact he’s so focused on the present, what he has to do, and he has a genuine will to help the team in whatever role he has,” Arteta remarked.
This reliability is proving vital as Arsenal move nine points clear.
