Mikel Arteta\u2019s latest remarks on Viktor Gy\u00f6keres have raised eyebrows among Arsenal fans, with the Spaniard insisting that the \u201clevel of attention\u201d on the striker has not changed despite his slow adaptation to English football.<\/p>\n
Speaking after Arsenal\u2019s latest outing, Arteta addressed the scrutiny surrounding Gy\u00f6keres, saying: \u201cI think the level of attention on Gy\u00f6keres hasn\u2019t changed since he signed, to today, that\u2019s normal.\u201d While intended as a calm assessment, the statement has sparked debate, with many supporters questioning whether the club is downplaying the pressure on their long-awaited No. 9.<\/p>\n
Arsenal fans were \u201cexcited to bring a No. 9 into the club,\u201d as Arteta himself admitted. Gy\u00f6keres arrived with an \u201cincredible scoring record,\u201d and expectations were sky-high from day one. However, his early weeks were far from smooth. The striker had no pre-season, struggled physically, and needed time to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Arteta defended the Swede, explaining that the striker\u2019s game relies heavily on physical sharpness. \u201cThe first few weeks were difficult because physically he wasn\u2019t in his best,\u201d the manager said, before adding that Gy\u00f6keres eventually \u201ckicked on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
