'There is always a question going to be asked of Gyokeres'

[Getty Images] The seemingly perennial debate surrounding Arsenal's striking options has returned to the fore after Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League win away at Napoli. The Gunners dominated but were guilty of wasteful finishing and were relieved with captain Martin Odegaard's late breakthrough despite having 26 shots - their most in a Champions League game since the start of last season. Viktor Gyokeres started his first game of the season but struggled at times and was replaced by Kai Havertz just before Arsenal broke the deadlock. "There is always a question going to be asked of Gyokeres," former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "There is a lot of talk around Arsenal and their big moves in the transfer market and one of the big stories was around the number nine that they were looking to bring in. "Obviously they have Gyokeres and Havertz and they have rotated so far this season with Havertz starting. Arsenal have a deep squad and the striker position, and possibly the left side after Martinelli's exit, are the two areas where they don't have the cover they have in other places. "Those are the two areas you could maybe question but when you look at their squad and the rest of the Premier League - they have the deepest, strongest squad by a long way. "I think with Gyokeres and Havertz there is the question mark of are either of those two of the world class quality that we talk about with Erling Haaland and maybe Julian Alvarez. You wouldn't put either of those two in that class. "Arsenal have goals everywhere else in the team, the strength in depth is far more than anyone else in the Premier League and probably in Europe. They are going to be the team to beat again."

"When he has to come and link I think that becomes the problem whereas Havertz likes to come and link the game and play and get runners off the sides. "Gyokeres wants space to run into. Against Napoli he was always receiving with his back to goal. I don't think that's his strength. I think he is more of a number nine who wants to run and use the spaces. "He needs to get up to speed and getting goals early in the season gives confidence." Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds
