Tottenham Hotspur Urged To Move In For This Arsenal Forward: Should De Zerbi Go For Him?

Tottenham Hotspur Urged To Move In For This Arsenal Forward: Should De Zerbi Go For Him? In a recent interview with The Last Word On Spurs , David Pleat urged his former club Tottenham Hotspur to move in for Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres. Pleat said, “There aren’t many out there; there’s a very small amount of strikers. “Are you going to buy Lankshear back now for £50 million? He’s the top scorer in the Championship, our boy. “So where are you going to get? Are Arsenal going to give us someone like Jesus, or someone they don’t want? He’s gone already, but Gyokeres, perhaps. Who else is there? “[Brian] Brobbey gave us trouble… [Dominic] Calvert-Lewin is very good in the air but had injury problems. When you are signing a striker, it’s about what type of striker. Is he exceptionally good in the air, is he a bully-type striker like Delap or is a clever front player, more like Havertz?” Gyokeres’ Growing Struggles In North London Gyokeres has struggled to earn regular first-team starts for Arsenal in this campaign so far as he has fallen behind Kai Havertz in Mikel Arteta’s pecking order. The 28-year-old registered two goals and three assists in 14 appearances for the Gunners this season in all competitions. The Swedish talent is currently among the most talented forwards in the Premier League. Hence, Tottenham would do well to bring him on board next year.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Roberto De Zerbi Go For Gyokeres? Gyokeres is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has the vision to engineer the odd chance for his teammates to score and is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet. Standing at 1.89m, the Swedish forward is a strong presence in the air as well. However, there are some question marks on whether he can find a consistent run of form in the Premier League if Spurs manage to snap him up next year. We can expect Gyokeres to add more quality and depth to Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi’s frontline. He is capable of challenging for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. At 28, Gyokeres is about to enter his prime, which makes him a decent choice for Spurs to pursue in 2027. Hence, Tottenham would be wise to go for a striker with his skill set soon.
