Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres sent an interesting message about how much he liked playing with Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke as the team’s two wingers against Nottingham Forest today.
The Gunners earned a comfortable 3-0 win over Forest at the Emirates Stadium, with Gyokeres scoring the second goal after a lovely assist by fellow summer signing Eze.
Martin Zubimendi also shone in the game, scoring twice for Arsenal, but afterwards Gyokeres had special praise for Eze and Madueke in particular.
Watch below as the Sweden international couldn’t hide his joy at playing with two such dangerous players to give him service in the penalty area…

Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Gyokeres made it clear that the England duo are “amazing” to play with and that they are always capable of producing “special” moments.
Are Arsenal better with Eze and Madueke in the starting line up?
Although Gyokeres was hardly likely to criticise any of his teammates, his comments suggest he particularly benefited from the way Eze and Madueke play.
This could be seen as a little hint towards manager Mikel Arteta to choose those two over someone like Gabriel Martinelli, and perhaps even Bukayo Saka.
Saka is out injured at the moment, but Madueke’s superb form since joining Arsenal from Chelsea could perhaps give Arteta something to think about on that right-hand side.
Few would have expected that at the start of the season, but Madueke has clearly slotted in really well at Arsenal and his playing style might get the best out of Gyokeres in a way that Saka hasn’t so far.
Martinelli is also surely going to lose his place on the left after the fine start by Eze today, with the former Crystal Palace man now likely to be ready to play 90 minutes more often after only joining the club quite late on in the summer.
All being said one thing is still remaining that is to kill off the way Arsenal handle the so called small teams in most cases I feel a lot of jetery when ever Arsenal are playing the small clubs it is unpredictable they must learn to be brutal against them and make sure that any between Arsenal and the small clubs will be a must win game by doing so the premiership trophy must be won they Arsenal must learn not to put their fans under undue pressure that is what is remaining for Arsenal to start doing by making those clubs that are below per a must win game the sky will be there limit
