Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has called on Arsenal striker, Viktor Gyokeres to score more goals for the Gunners.
Shearer believes the Premier League North London club has paid too much for the Sweden international after he failed to score against Fulham in the Premier League at the weekend.
Arsenal signed Gyokeres for £57m from Sporting Lisbon in the summer transfer window.
But the 27-year-old has scored just three goals in 11 appearances in all competitions for Mikel Arteta’s side so far.
“I think they [Arsenal] have paid too much for him [Viktor Gyokeres]. I would say the same with Benjamin Sesko at Manchester United,” Shearer said on The Rest is Football podcast.
“He is definitely going to have to score more goals. But I do think he brings something to the Arsenal team. One of his positives is that he runs in behind, which then will help create space for others to exploit.
“But there is no doubt he’s going to have to improve his numbers with the goals because we said it last season, what Arsenal have needed, cried out for, is a goal scorer.”
