It seemed that Gyökeres was finally gaining momentum, as his activity truly stood out in the match against the Greeks.

Gyökeres demonstrated himself in various areas of the pitch, allowing him to put pressure on the opponent and create opportunities for his teammates.

However, despite a few decent moments, his conversion still leaves much to be desired.

One of his powerful runs ended with a successful reception of a pass from Martin Ødegaard, but Gyökeres shot right into the goalkeeper's hands. Fortunately, Gabriel Martinelli was quick to capitalize on the rebound.

In the first half, another successful run again led to a pass from Ødegaard, but the moment was wasted due to Gyökeres’ lack of focus as he failed to hit the target.

Later, he had a chance to shoot in the penalty area, but still couldn't concentrate and shot over the crossbar.

His shot map shows where Gyökeres prefers to attack, and coach Mikel Arteta will surely find positive aspects in the chances created.

The Swede has already scored three goals but hit the target in only two of nine matches, so his shooting accuracy still needs improvement, considering he scored 54 goals for Sporting last season.

However, there are positive signs of improvement in his collaboration with the team, and his tireless work contributes to creating opportunities for both him and his teammates.

It is important to note that despite the gaps in conversion, Gyökeres' activity on the pitch indicates his growing role in the team. If he continues to develop, we may soon see his decisive contribution to Arsenal's results. The coaching staff will surely appreciate his energy and determination since such qualities are always essential for the team's success in tough matches.
