Daniel Sturridge has given Mikel Arteta and Arsenal some advice on how to potentially get Viktor Gyokeres scoring goals for fun like Manchester City star Erling Haaland. <\/p>\n

It was Viktor Gyokeres against Benjamin Sesko<\/a> at Old Trafford, and despite the result going the Swede\u2019s way, his performance was a little underwhelming.<\/p>\n

Gyokeres had no shots on goal<\/a> and barely got a sniff on Sunday afternoon. After arriving for \u00a364m from Sporting Lisbon, fans expect goals sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Which is why they may need to listen to the advice of former Manchester City and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daniel Sturridge explains how to get Viktor Gyokeres firing for Arsenal<\/p>\n

Speaking post-match in the Arsenal against Manchester United<\/a> clash to Sky Sports, Sturridge outlines exactly how the Gunners can get the most out of their new signing. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think they need to score different types of goals to take the next step \u2013 more penetrative passes in the central areas, which, in turn, will give Gyokeres more opportunities to score.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of the goals he will end up scoring will be like the ones [Erling] Haaland scores: one-touch finishes in the box, poaching in the six-yard area.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also think he thrives, similar to Haaland<\/a>, off those penetrative passes around the box, which give him the chance to make a burst over a few yards and get his shot off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gyokeres<\/a> is just that \u2013 a poacher. With Kai Havertz naturally fitting<\/a> the way Arsenal want to play, Mikel Arteta now needs to adapt with his new man and play to Gyokeres\u2019 strengths.<\/p>\n

Gyokeres trains like an animal<\/a>, so he must be impressing behind the scenes. But to really maximise his potential, it may be worth tweaking tactics. Arsenal aren\u2019t exactly short of players who have the key to unlock the former Coventry forward.<\/p>\n

Martin Zubimendi key to unlocking Gyokeres<\/p>\n

Zubimendi and Gyokeres have already linked up<\/a> in pre-season, and the Spaniard has the passing ability to provide what Sturridge is asking for.<\/p>\n

The midfielder\u2019s pinpoint passes can provide assist after assist for Gyokeres \u2013 if Arsenal adapt their style of play.<\/p>\n

The wingers, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, also need to understand how Gyokeres operates. Once this happens, the cogs will start turning, and things will fall into place.<\/p>\n

Arteta knew Gyokeres was the one \u2013 now he must play to his strengths at the Emirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Sturridge has given Mikel Arteta and Arsenal some advice on how to potentially get Viktor Gyokeres scoring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[220,38496,9202,218,101,56,54,55,321],"class_list":["post-75029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-arsenal","tag-daniel-sturridge","tag-erling-haaland","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-viktor-gyokeres"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
