Rooney: Gyokeres är en viktig faktor i Arsenals kamp för titeln

Premier League-legendaren Wayne Rooney har hyllat Viktor Gyokeres för hans roll i Arsenals kamp för en historisk dubbel den här säsongen. Den svenske anfallaren har övervunnit en tuff start och bidragit avsevärt till lagets framgångar.

Rooney lyfte fram Gyokeres förmåga att sysselsätta försvarare och skapa utrymme för lagkamrater som Eberechi Eze och Bukayo Saka. I podcasten The Overlap sa han att anfallaren löper i djupled och tvingar motståndarna att arbeta hårt, vilket har hjälpt Arsenals offensiv under de senaste veckorna.
