Arsenal fans didn\u2019t quite know what to expect when Viktor Gyokeres arrived last summer, but one year on, it\u2019s safe to say he\u2019s delivered. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Swedish striker has given Mikel Arteta something the Gunners have craved for years: a reliable, physical number nine who thrives in big moments.<\/p>\n With 11 Premier League goals already and a growing influence in Europe, Gyokeres has quickly become a key figure in Arsenal\u2019s title push.
