Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has disclosed that Arsenal new signing Viktor Gyokeres will find it difficult to fit into manager Mikel Arteta’s tactics.
Recall that Gyokeres won the golden boot In the Primeira Liga last year with 39 goals as he helped Sporting to yet another league title.
However, despite his impressive stats, Scholes in a chat with The Overlap Fan Debate, questioned if he fits into Arteta’s tactics which will require him to maintain possession whereas at Sporting he was used to counter attacking football.

“The only thing I’d say against Gyokeres really is that with Sporting Lisbon, he’s probably playing on the counter-attack a lot, in Europe especially,” Scholes said.
“You think of Arsenal, they have the ball an awful lot, is he going to be clever enough to make these runs in behind – a lot of him that you see, he’s sprinting from the halfway line almost, you can’t keep up with him, he’s ramming people, he’s quick and he’s smashing the ball in.
“Is he going to be that clever striker – we know (Alexander) Isak can do that. Can Gyokeres do that?”
