Troy Deeney is not a fan of Viktor Gyokeres (Picture: Paramount Plus) Troy Deeney fears Mikel Arteta is on the verge of giving up on Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Sweden international joined the Gunners 12 months ago and was expected to end their search for the lethal centre forward they had been missing since the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Gyokeres amassed a respectable 22 goals in all competitions over the course of his debut season in English football but failed to fully win the faith of his manager who was reported to have wanted to sign Benjamin Sesko instead. Kai Havertz’s return to form and fitness has seen him firmly usurp Gyokeres as Arteta’s go-to centre forward at the start of the current campaign.

Indeed, the 28-year-old was an unused substitute in the first two Premier League games of the season before Sunday’s error-strewn cameo against Chelsea. ‘Watch his highlights (against Chelsea), wow,’a disbelieving Deeney told Paramount Plus. ‘It’s like a horse trying to control a ball. ‘It’s a limitation problem. This guy gets credit for running the channels, so many times the ball comes up to him and bounces off him. Viktor Gyokeres struggled against Chelesa after coming on in the closing stages (Picture: Getty Images) ‘So many times when they’ve got a counter-attack and he takes a big touch. I see why they tried to replace him. ‘He was brought in to give them that extra option but if I’m a coach now I’ve got Havertz who can link the game and do everything great, I’ve got Merino who can do that. ‘I think Arteta looks at this guy in training and goes ‘what am I supposed to do with that’. ‘He’s 27 or 28 and he’s not going to get tactically much better, he’s not going to get technically much better at this point. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"'It was beautiful': Arteta hails Arsenal's attack-to-defence display in win against Chelsea","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/07\/2593273995855020828\/480x270_MP4_2593273995855020828.mp4","description":"Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium after Morgan Rogers stunned home fans into silence with a volleyed goal 77 seconds into the game.","duration":"T5M27S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/07\/07\/111091359-0-image-a-53_1788761962819.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-07T07:17:08+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘That’s why they were trying to move him on to get Alvarez, that’s why he was linked with everyone else within the deals.

He feels fit, he’s training every day and has this routine right now. ‘He’s scoring goals, but not only that – he’s also doing amazing work for the team.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Ad
Mikel Arteta after Arsenal’s win over Chelsea (Picture: Getty) Troy Deeney named four Arsenal players in his team of the week including the ‘best goalkeeper in the Premier League’, David Raya. Mikel Arteta’s defending champions maintained their perfect start to the new season with a 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday. Arsenal trailed through Morgan Rogers’ early opener but came from behind thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard. The win means only Arsenal and Manchester City boast a perfect record after three games while Chelsea taste defeat for the first time this season.

Deeney picked Raya as the goalkeeper in his Premier League team of the week for BBC Sport after he pulled off a brilliant save to deny Estevao a Chelsea equaliser late on. Arsenal summer signing Ezri Konsa was also included after an impressive performance alongside Gabriel, with Chelsea’s dazzling front-three kept relatively quiet at the Emirates Stadium. Martin Odegaard continued his superb start to the season with another goal and earned a place in Deeney’s team alongside Arsenal’s ‘best footballer’ Havertz. Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney (Picture: Getty) Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya (Picture: Getty) Analysing Raya’s performance against Chelsea, Deeney said: ‘Huge saves, again. It’s why he’s the best goalkeeper in the league. He keeps just coming up with big moments.’ Turning his attentions to England defender Konsa, the ex-Premier League striker said: ‘Solid performance. He comes in again and just makes that massive tackle on Morgan Rogers. ‘I think he slots into what is an already incredible Arsenal team. I can see a position now that they just can’t live without him, he’ll have to play right-back when everybody comes fit and available.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"'It was beautiful': Arteta hails Arsenal's attack-to-defence display in win against Chelsea","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/07\/2593273995855020828\/480x270_MP4_2593273995855020828.mp4","description":"Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium after Morgan Rogers stunned home fans into silence with a volleyed goal 77 seconds into the game.","duration":"T5M27S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/07\/07\/111091359-0-image-a-53_1788761962819.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-07T07:17:08+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); On Odegaard, Deeney added: ‘Captain, leader and a massive winner. It’s just one of those moments where you just think, how did they talk about getting rid of Odegaard? It’s scary.’ Discussing Havertz, the Watford legend continued: ‘The best striker for Arsenal, hands down. They keep telling us that Gyokeres will come good, but Havertz is their best striker. ‘He proves it week in, week out. He’s the best footballer they’ve got, and also their best finisher.’ Troy Deeney's Premier League team of the week David Raya (Arsenal) Ezri Konsa (Arsenal) Ronald Araujo (Liverpool) Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace) Harvey Barnes (Newcastle United) Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) Cesar Palacios (Fulham) Alexander Isak (Liverpool) Kai Havertz (
Arsenal considered a bid for Chelsea striker Joao Pedro (Picture: Getty) Arsenal put Chelsea striker Joao Pedro on their longlist of possible transfer targets over the summer but decided against making an official move. Mikel Arteta was open to signing a new striker after Viktor Gyokeres’ mixed first season at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners were ready to sanction a huge bid for Julian Alvarez but the Atletico Madrid striker was reluctant to return to the Premier League and had his heart set on a move to Barcelona. Arsenal of course had the chance to make a move for another striker and bosses at the north London club expressed interest in Chelsea’s Pedro. Exclusive Premier League previews Get ahead of the start of the season with our weekly football newsletter. Sign up now for free. The Brazil international enjoyed a promising first season at Stamford Bridge, scoring 20 goals in all competitions, and has netted two goals in four games so far this season. Pedro was less influential in Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday as the Gunners climbed back to the top of the table and ended the Blues’ perfect start to the new season. A number of pundits still view Pedro as one of the best strikers in the Premier League and the 24-year-old has many ‘admirers’ at Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) But Arsenal decided not to move for Pedro as there were ‘concerns’ over how the Brazilian would fit into Arteta’s system at Arsenal, according to BBC Sport. Pedro, who was heavily linked with Barcelona earlier in the summer, views Arsenal defender Gabriel as the ‘toughest’ opponent he has come up against in the Premier League. ‘The toughest defender to play against this season? Top three: Willian Pacho and Jonathan Tah, but Gabriel Magalhaes was the toughest in my opinion,’ the attacker told TNT Sports Brasil back in May. Arsenal wanted to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid (Picture: Getty) ‘I was surprised by his speed, but I gave him a hard time, too! He’s been inspired this season.’ Meanwhile, Michael Owen believes Manchester United should have launched a move for Pedro years ago as he has always been a ‘huge fan’ of the Chelsea star. Asked to name Arsenal’s biggest rival for the Premier League title this season, Owen told The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast: ‘Chelsea. ‘This could be way off the mark but they’ve got no Europe at all and you see how important that has been over the years. It was brilliant for Manchester United last year. ‘This manager [Xabi Alonso] did something similar with an unfancied team in Germany [Bayer Leverkusen], he’s going to change a lot, they’ve bought well. ‘I’m a huge Joao Pedro fan, I think he’s unbelievable. In fact, Manchester United should have bought him about four years ago when he was at Watford. ‘United had nobody up front for years and I thought, “That Joao Pedro”, I love him.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Chelsea hero Joe Cole (Picture: Getty) Joe Cole slammed Chelsea for selling ‘world-class’ Kai Havertz to Arsenal after Xabi Alonso’s side were beaten by the Premier League champions. Havertz helped Arsenal maintain their perfect start to the new season by scoring the equaliser in a 2-1 win at the Emirates Stadium. Chelsea summer signing and ex-Arsenal transfer target Morgan Rogers gave the visitors the lead inside two minutes but Havertz equalised midway through the first half. In-form Martin Odegaard put Arsenal ahead just after half-time and the captain’s goal proved to be the winner as Chelsea failed to score an equaliser of their own.

The result means only Arsenal and Manchester City have taken a maximum nine points from their first three games, while Chelsea stay fourth with six. Arsenal’s £65m move for Havertz in 2023 raised eyebrows given the German’s three mixed seasons at Stamford Bridge. But Havertz is now Arsenal’s first-choice striker – ahead of £64m signing Viktor Gyokeres – and produced another influential performance in Sunday’s win over Chelsea. Chelsea sold Kai Havertz to Arsenal in 2023 (Picture: Getty) ‘I think if you’ve got Kai Havertz at your club you’re watching him every day, week in, week out,’ Cole said on Premier League Productions. ‘Coaches and managers come and go, but the Directors of Football? Look at the amount of money on centre-forwards the club has spent since they him go out the door. ‘It’s just not good enough; I think it’s got to stop happening. It happened with Kevin De Bruyne [leaving]; it happened with Kai Havertz. Arsenal beat London rivals Chelsea (Picture: Getty) ‘Those kind of deals never happened at Manchester United with Sir Alex Ferguson, or with Arsene Wenger at Arsenal. ‘When did you hear of them letting go of a player who went on to become world class at one of your rivals?’ Odegaard heaped praise on Havertz, who also played a role in Arsenal’s winner, after the 2-1 win over Chelsea. https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc9L9tTDLrn/?img_index=1 ‘He’s a really smart player,’ the Arsenal skipper said. ‘He moves so well and takes a lot of attention from the defenders and it was a brilliant goal.’ Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, said of Havertz: ‘He looks happy. He looks settled, happy, and some great things have happened in his personal life as well. ‘He feels fit, he’s training every day and has this routine right now. He’s scoring goals, but not only that – he’s also doing amazing work for the team.’ Arsenal face Napoli on Wednesday night in their first Champions League game of the season while Chelsea take on Leeds United in midweek in the Carabao Cup. Speaking after Arsenal beat his former club Chelsea, Havertz said: ‘It’s always nice to win at home against a London rival. It was a tough game but over the 90 minutes, we deserved to win that game. ‘They have strong players. They have an amazing squad but so do we. We knew it was going to be tough and it’s going to be a tight game. ‘They scored early, so it’s not easy for us but we believed in ourselves and changed the game around.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
