According to Theo Walcott, a former Arsenal attacker, Mikel Arteta’s team won the Champions League this year because of this specific guy.
Last season, Arsenal upset Real Madrid, a Spanish powerhouse, in the Champions League.
But Paris Saint-Germain, the ultimate champions, defeated them in the semi-finals.

According to Walcott, the Gunners’ pursuit of a repeat championship will hinge on summer signing Viktor Gyokeres.
If Arsenal possessed a striker of Gyokeres’ calibre, he claimed, they would not have lost to PSG in the semi-finals.
He stated to the BBC that Arsenal could have won the trophy from last season’s PSG semi-final if they had Viktor Gyokeres on the team.
You may count on Gyokeres to be present whenever you introduce risk or place the ball in specific spots. For their benefit, he will have an impact.
Even in the Champions League quarterfinals, he is well-prepared.
“When I consider Arsenal’s current roster and their formidable defensive capabilities, it becomes clear why I am supporting them to win it.”
Arsenal will travel to Spain to take on Athletic Club in the first match of their Champions League campaign this year.
