Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has identified Viktor Gyokeres as the Gunners player who proved people wrong following his side’s Champions League semi-final second leg 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Speaking on CBS Sports after the game, the Frenchman gave credit to Gyokeres for his display against the LaLiga giants at the Emirates Stadium.
“If I take the example of Gyokeres, the jury was out on him,” Henry said of the Sweden international.
“It’s not a bad thing. Embrace it. Try to prove people wrong. Tonight he did.
‘Not only tonight, but in the last month, I’ll also give him his credit. He is running, he looks solid and a bit more like a number nine that you can be scared of.”
Gyokeres joined the Premier League North London club from Sporting CP last summer.
