Nigel Winterburn reveals why Arteta picks Havertz over Gyokeres

Viktor Gyokeres has endured a difficult season at Arsenal, despite continuing to score for Sweden . His performances during the latest international break showed why the Gunners spent heavily on him, but he has struggled to reproduce that form since returning to the Emirates.

The striker has found it difficult to secure his manager’s trust, and his opportunities in the starting line-up have not always produced performances to keep his place.

That has raised questions about how well he fits Mikel Arteta’s system. Havertz remains Arteta’s preferred option Kai Havertz had shown he could suit Arteta’s approach before Arsenal signed Gyokeres.
