Gyokeres’ Underwhelming Debut Highlights Adjustment Period at Arsenal

Viktor Gyokeres’ first competitive start for Arsenal at Old Trafford offered a stark reminder that even high-profile signings need time to adapt. The £64million summer addition registered just 21 touches, completed four passes, and failed to register a single shot during his hour on the pitch. While Arsenal still secured a 1-0 win thanks to Riccardo Calafiori’s header, Gyokeres’ debut illustrated the adjustment required for both player and team.
