Viktor Gyokeres Interview: Arsenal Star on Keys to Title Success, Mikel Arteta Impact and Nerves Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal’s prolific striker, has shared his insights on the mental and tactical approach required to secure Premier League glory, the influence of manager Mikel Arteta, and the role of nerves in high-stakes football. In an exclusive interview with football.london, the 27-year-old Swede emphasized the importance of focus, resilience, and enjoying the process as the Gunners push for their ultimate goal. Gyokeres, who has scored 17 goals across all competitions this season, highlighted the need for players to maintain composure under pressure. “You have to be so focused every game and take every game as seriously as you can, no matter who you play. All the points that you get count in the end,” he said. He acknowledged the challenges of a long season but stressed the importance of staying grounded. “You have to think like that, but also not to get too frustrated if it doesn’t go your way because it’s always a long season and there’s still a lot to play for.” The Gunners’ pursuit of the Premier League title has been marked by moments of both triumph and frustration, including early exits from the League Cup and FA Cup. Gyokeres addressed the perception of “nerves” affecting the team, arguing that such feelings are a sign of passion rather than weakness. “If you feel nerves, I think it means that it matters for you,” he said. “It’s not bad if you take it in the right way and put that energy into the game.” He framed nerves as a natural part of competing at the highest level, emphasizing that the team’s deep commitment to success is what drives their performance. Arteta’s leadership has been central to Arsenal’s development this season.#arsenal #mikel_arteta #bukayo_saka #viktor_gyokeres #football_london
