Mikel Arteta has expressed his belief that Viktor Gyokeres will find his footing at Arsenal after a challenging start in the Premier League. Gyokeres made his debut in a tightly contested match against Manchester United, which ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Arsenal. Despite the win, Gyokeres struggled to make an impact on the game, often finding himself isolated and unable to showcase his abilities.

Arteta acknowledged the difficulties that new players face when adjusting to a club's style and the intensity of the Premier League. He emphasized the importance of patience and support from both the coaching staff and fans as Gyokeres adapts to his new environment. The manager highlighted Gyokeres' potential and skill set, indicating that he is confident the forward will improve as he gains more experience with the team.

As Arsenal looks to build on their opening win, the focus will be on integrating Gyokeres into the squad effectively, allowing him to contribute to the team's success in the coming matches.
