🎙️Ex-Huddersfield Centre-Back Naby Sarr on a Striker Arsenal Should Sign to Reach the Next Level.
Former Huddersfield Town defender Naby Sarr has weighed in on the ongoing debate surrounding Arsenal’s search for a new striker, throwing his full support behind Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres as the ideal candidate to elevate Mikel Arteta’s side to the next level.
In a candid interview, Sarr didn’t hold back his admiration for the Swedish forward, describing him as a relentless and intelligent striker who brings a unique edge to the game.
“Gyökeres. What sets him apart from the others is that he’s not lazy,” Sarr said. “His mindset has always been to tell himself that no ball is unplayable. Even if it seems unexploitable and he’s five meters behind, he’ll go for it. He’s poison.”
Sarr, who faced Gyökeres during their time in the Championship, knows firsthand just how difficult the striker is to deal with. He emphasized that it’s Gyökeres’ work ethic and never-say-die attitude that separates him from many of today’s modern forwards — attributes Arsenal could certainly benefit from.
With the Gunners falling just short in their Premier League title challenge, many pundits and fans have pointed to the lack of a consistent, dynamic No. 9 as a missing piece in Arteta’s puzzle. Gyökeres, with his power, pace, and hunger, has been a standout performer in Portugal, scoring goals and terrorizing defenses with his tenacity.
Sarr’s endorsement adds further weight to the growing calls for Arsenal to make a move this summer. As the transfer window nears, it’s clear that a striker of Gyökeres’ profile — a relentless chaser, physical presence, and natural finisher — could be the key to unlocking Arsenal’s title-winning
ambitions.
