Mikel Arteta is ready to unleash a new Arsenal strikeforce after Viktor Gyokeres struggles
Mikel Arteta believes he can solve his selection headache up front by playing Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyokeres in the same team.
Arsenal have been hit hard by injuries recently, but that has been in defence and going forward, Arteta is blessed with options.
Gyokeres and Jesus can both play as a central striker, while Mikel Merino is an option there, too, and Kai Havertz will be when back from injury.
Arteta has already spoken about how Gyokeres and Havertz could play in the same side, and believes it’s the same case with Jesus.
“That would be very strong and both players probably like to play a little bit shifted to the left side and can interchange in that position, which is something we have not had yet,” said Arteta.
“And that would put an extra body closer to the box in central positions so is something we can work on. We must make sure we keep them fit to have many options.
Gyokeres led the line for Arsenal against Club Brugge on Wednesday, where they ran out 3-0 winners.
It was the Swede’s first start since the beginning of last month and he managed an hour before coming off.
