Gyokeres critics ‘don’t have a clue’ says Sweden boss

Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson has defended Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres and insists he has performed well this season.

The 27-year-old has netted three times in ten games for the Gunners since his summer move from Sporting CP.

But he has failed to score in any of the last six games.

Tomasson, however, insists Gyokeres’ impact goes beyond just his goals and praised him for his performances at his new club.

“Viktor Gyokeres is in very good form at the moment,” he said ahead of his side’s game against Switzerland.

“If people say he doesn’t have an impact (on matches), then they don’t understand football and don’t have a clue about football. He creates space for other players, works on the ball and makes runs.

“It’s excellent and he scores goals almost all the time, so he has an impact and has been very good. It’s always nice, as you need time when you come to a new club.”
