Rooney: Gyökeres’ Unseen Work Rate Is Key to Arsenal’s Double Bid
Former England captain Wayne Rooney has come to Viktor Gyökeres’ defence amid criticism of his debut season at Arsenal. Rooney praises the Swedish striker’s tireless off-the-ball movement, explaining how it drags defenders out of position and opens space for teammates like Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka. Rooney highlights Gyökeres’ resurgence after a slow start to life in north London. Following a ten-game goal drought, the £64 million signing has netted five goals in nine games, taking his season tally to 21 and becoming the first Arsenal player since Thierry Henry and Ian Wright to reach 20 goals in a debut campaign.
