One of Gyokeris’ concerns, apart from his speed, is that he has yet to prove himself in any of Europe’s top five leagues.

The 26-year-old has performed very well at Sporting, but before that he was playing in the Championship with Coventry City, so a move to the Premier League would really be a step into uncharted territory.

Arsenal might be better off considering more proven players at this level, like Alexander Isak, or a talented young player like Benjamin Sisko, who is young enough to develop and fine-tune his game to become an elite level striker.
