I don't think the issue lies entirely with Victor Gyokeres.
Basically there are two questions to consider; What is Arteta failing to achieve with the quality of the Arsenal squad?.
Regarding Viktor Gyökeres specifically, his quality clearly warrants a starting spot in any team—he is a player who makes the team tick.
Opponents treat him with great caution, knowing he can score at any moment.
Furthermore, he is highly clinical, converting the chances that come his way.
We cannot turn a blind eye to Arteta’s dishonesty when he tries to convince us that Havertz is a better option than Gyökeres—a stance driven merely by his personal fondness for Havertz—and this bias is evident in the way he selects his lineups!.
He often devises tactics and selects specific players to stifle Viktor Gyökeres, making it appear as though the striker doesn't fit the system;
Furthermore, Saka is sometimes blatantly selfish—not just towards Gyökeres but towards anyone—which is a major issue, especially when it affects Gyökeres.
Tzolis is the kind of player who could help Viktor score goals because he is an excellent chance creator, yet Arteta keeps them apart to make things difficult for Viktor and justify his own decisions;
It is infuriating at times. Just ask yourself, how long has he trained with Sweden and scored goals?.
Why can't Arsenal replicate that, given they have had him for so long?.
Arsenal fans are fed up with Arteta's infatuation with Havertz; they want the reality that Viktor is showing them.
It's a pity we talk of Victor playing while Havertz is out, in the first place it's a mistake to start Havertz ahead of Victor Gyokeres.Haverts is a beast,Havertz is an entertainer not a striker.
Arteta forces Gyokeres to play as an attacking midfielder. This forces him to change from his natural game when he plays for Arsenal.
