Arsenal legend Ray Parlour believes Viktor Gyokeres can follow in the footsteps of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry despite criticism over his debut performance on Sunday. The Swedish striker started the 1-0 win at Manchester United, but was replaced 60 minutes in after an ineffective display.

The World Cup winner, who played in the Premier League with Chelsea, even compared Gyokeres to Manchester United flop Rasmus Hojlund. Hojlund was left out of Ruben Amorim’s matchday squad on Sunday and the United boss is hoping to offload him before the transfer window closes.

Ian Wright revealed the motivating message he sent to Viktor Gyokeres after his flop debut against Manchester United.
