Mikel Arteta has expressed confidence that Arsenal is successfully unlocking the full potential of striker Viktor Gyökeres. Since the beginning of 2026, Gyökeres has demonstrated a significant upturn in form, netting eight goals across all competitions. This scoring run has already surpassed any individual Arsenal player's tally from the previous season.

Looking ahead, Arsenal prepares to face Chelsea, aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League. Despite Chelsea's winless streak against them in recent games, Arteta remains focused on preparation, emphasizing that past results do not dictate future outcomes. The team's ultimate goal remains securing the Premier League title, a coveted prize after three consecutive runner-up finishes.
