Bukayo Saka has reportedly revealed that Viktor Gyokeres has given the team something to ‘build on’ even though he didn’t score on his full Arsenal debut.
The England international is certain that Gyokores, a striker who cost £64 million, has all the makings of a premier centre forward and is already settling in.
After making his first Premier League start for Arsenal against Manchester United, the 27-year-old was pulled off after failing to register a single shot on goal.
Since the Sweden international has barely completed two weeks of full training after his prolonged transfer from Sporting Lisbon, many fans have begun to doubt his match readiness and fitness.

Gyokores, who was a prolific scorer at Sporting but hasn’t established himself in a top league, poses a serious risk to the Gunners. He is currently being watched closely at Arsenal.

He explained: “I was impressed with him and he battled for us. It was tough. There was a big battle up there. I thought he did well.
“His performance gives us something to build on and I am sure it will help him next week. He has slotted in well and so have the other guys.”
