The debut season of Viktor Gyokeres at Arsenal has sparked heated debates among critics and former players. Anders Limpar, a former Swedish midfielder who made history at the London club between 1990 and 1994, assessed the forward’s performance and shared his opinion on what the young player needs to elevate his game to a new level. Limpar’s rating is a modest six out of ten, reflecting both the player’s brilliant moments and his fluctuations in performance.
In incisive statements to the betting site “FrutyKing,” Limpar analyzed Gyokeres’ trajectory, which so far includes 15 goals and two assists in 39 matches. Despite some extraordinary displays, such as the one he had in the North London derby, where he was decisive by scoring two goals, the Swede has struggled to maintain the consistency required of an elite player. “He has been absolutely tremendous on some days, but between those games, he hasn’t been as good,” Limpar stated, emphasizing the need for Gyokeres to improve, especially when he is substituted before the end of matches.
The former player also addressed the issue of ball possession, pointing out that Gyokeres tends to lose the ball too frequently. “He needs to improve the technical aspects of his game,” Limpar said, while making comparisons with his teammates, particularly Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. “Gabriel Jesus may not be as prolific as Gyokeres in terms of goals, but his technique and the way he involves the team are impressive,” he highlighted.
Limpar did not hesitate to give direct advice to Gyokeres, suggesting that he draw inspiration from Havertz. “When the ball is passed to Havertz, he never loses it, and that is an essential quality that every player should have. If Viktor can improve the technical side of his game and focus on technique in training, he can be one of the great players at Arsenal,” concluded Limpar, making it clear that Gyokeres’ development is in his own hands.
In this context, it is evident that Viktor Gyokeres’ future at Arsenal depends not only on his natural talent but also on his ability to adapt and evolve on the pitch, particularly regarding technique and consistency. With the guidance of an experienced figure like Limpar, the young forward has the opportunity to become a key player for the “Gunners.” Time will tell if Gyokeres will seize this chance to shine and secure his place in the club’s history.
