David Raya has revealed his plan to stop Viktor Gyokeres ahead of Arsenal’s clash against Sporting. The Portuguese outfit will host the Gunners at the Jose Alvalade Stadium on Tuesday night as they both look to climb the Champions League table.
Gyokeres, who sees his contract expire in June 2028, has featured 11 times in the Primeira Liga this season, scoring 16 goals. Playing an important role in Ruben Amorim’s former side, the 26-year-old striker has fired Sporting to the top of the table.
He’s enjoyed a brilliant vein of form in the Champions League too, netting a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month to maintain Portuguese club’s unbeaten run. Unsurprisingly, Gyokeres has become one of the most coveted strikers in Europe – and Arsenal are well aware of his ability.
The Gunners goalkeeper was very complimentary of Gyokeres, meanwhile, Mikel Arteta remained coy. The Spaniard said: “I would like to talk about the team, about the coaches and how phenomenal they have been. The run they are in is incredible.
