From Hopes To Challenges: Understanding Viktor Gyökeres' Arsenal Scoring Problems.

Viktor Gyökeres’ move to Arsenal in 2025 was welcomed with sky-high hopes after his prolific form in Portugal, but his goal drought and scoring challenges have quickly become headline topics in North London. This comprehensive blog dissects why those initial hopes have run into obstacles, using tactical analysis, stats, and context around Arsenal’s form and style, while exploring how manager Mikel Arteta and the broader Gunners squad are addressing the issue.​ From Lisbon Euphoria to North London Reality Viktor Gyökeres arrived as a £64 million marquee man, fresh from a stunning 97 goals in 102 appearances at Sporting Lisbon. His signing was seen as the missing cog for Arteta’s title-aspiring side. Arsenal needed a dynamic, clinical striker—someone to convert their creative promise into consistent firepower after just missing out in previous seasons.​ Initially, hope soared as Gyökeres netted three goals in his first four matches for Arsenal, which included an explosive brace against L...

Despite Jesus' blow, Arsenal is willing to spend €100 million to sign a 32-goal striker this month.


After losing Gabriel Jesus to a permanent injury, Arsenal may try to recruit Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres during the current January transfer window, according to French publication L'equipe.

After suffering a probable anterior cruciate ligament injury last weekend, the Brazilian may miss the remainder of the 2024–25 season. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is looking for a replacement because Bukayo Saka is also sidelined until further notice.

Despite his €100 million release clause, Gyokeres has been on Arsenal's radar for some time, and the North Londoners may contemplate a bid for him.

After paying a comparable sum on England international midfielder Declan Rice, the Gunners are no longer hesitant to pay this much for a striker.

Arsenal could use a striker like the 26-year-old Swedish international, who has already scored 32 goals in 30 games this season across all competitions.

Gyokeres has what it takes to lead the Gunners to the next level, and while acquiring Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, in January is unlikely, acquiring the Sporting star might be doable.


Activating his €100m release clause could get the job done, and Arsenal fans will hope the club can successfully obtain the services of such a striker.

They should not be afraid to spend a lot of money on him since he could make the difference for them in the title race this term and in the future.

After missing out on a chance with Brighton & Hove Albion, Gyokeres has a lot to prove in the Premier League. However, he has since proven his abilities in the top division of Portugal, and he might be interested in returning to England.

Although he has many suitors in the English Premier League and throughout Europe, the majority of them are holding off on moving until the summer, thus Arsenal has an opportunity to outshine them by pursuing him this month.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...
