Gyokeres scored twice against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night
Viktor Gyokeres ended a goalless run of nine games for club and country by scoring twice in Arsenal's 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday but afterwards manager Mikel Arteta was quick to praise his all-round contribution.
Arteta believes the 27-year-old makes the Gunners "a much better team", explaining his signing has made them "much more unpredictable", pinpointing his athleticism and work-rate as stand-out attributes.
"He's so physical and the way he presses the ball, and holds the ball, that's phenomenal," the Spaniard said after the victory in the Champions League.
Arteta's view that Gyokeres offers more than just goals is supported by the data, particularly when it comes to winning the ball back in advanced positions.
