Viktor Gyokeres appears to be finding his scoring touch at Arsenal after a difficult start to his Premier League career. The Sweden striker has netted six goals in his past eight appearances across all competitions, including a crucial double against Sunderland. While some statistics may be inflated by Arsenal's busy fixture schedule, Gyokeres' growing confidence is undeniable.

Since January, Gyokeres has outscored every other Premier League player with six goals, though Arsenal's involvement in four competitions means they've played more games than most rivals. His partnership with Kai Havertz, who has shifted into a midfield role, shows promise. The duo combined for goals against Kairat and Sunderland, suggesting the tactical adjustment could unlock Gyokeres' potential.

However, deeper analysis reveals a more nuanced picture. Six of Gyokeres' eight league goals have come against newly-promoted sides, and only three of his 13 total goals have changed the state of games after he scored first. His penalty against Everton was valuable, but his goals have won Arsenal just two points overall. Manager Mikel Arteta praises Gyokeres' work ethic and mental resilience, noting the team performs better defensively when he starts despite scoring more without him.
