Scholes claims Arteta was forced to buy Arsenal star in the summer: ‘It’s the pressure’
Joe Williams Paul Scholes thinks Mikel Arteta's side have been 'boring' this season.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes reckons Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was forced to buy Viktor Gyokeres in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners brought in eight signings in the summer transfer window as the board backed Arteta to finally go one step further by winning the Premier League title.
Arsenalhave finished runners-up in each of their last three seasons in the Premier League with many feeling a new goalscoring centre-forward could be the final piece in the jigsaw for Arteta.
The Gunners invested around ￡64m in the Sweden international after he scored 97 goals in 102 appearances for Portuguese outfit Sporting CP.
However, things haven’t quite gone to plan for Gyokeres at Arsenal with the former Coventry City striker scoring six goals in 18 matches in all competitions.
Gyokeres is currently nowhere near his goal to game ratio seen at Sporting but Scholes has praised the Arsenal striker for giving his all during matches.
